Guide: No matter what medicine you feed, you should create a relaxed and natural atmosphere for your cat. If a lot of people are surrounded at first and the medicine has not been seen, the cat will be surprised first, so it will be difficult to feed anything. Then it is necessary to feed cats in different ways according to different kinds of drugs.
No matter what medicine you take, you should create a relaxed and natural atmosphere for your cat. Don't start with a large group of people. Your cat will be surprised before you see the medicine, so it will be difficult for it to feed anything. It is best to let the cat stand, that is, land on all fours. If he lands on his back and hips, he may free his hands or even his feet to deal with you, and the situation will get out of control. In terms of gestures, you can touch the cat's neck and back fur first (because you need to grab the neck fur with one hand to fix it when feeding medicine later), and talk to it softly or call its name to relax it. The next step is about to begin!
1, tablet computer
(1) Place the tablet between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand.
(2) The left hand makes a quick transition from touching the neck silently to grasping the loose fur on the cat's neck.
(3) Baoding slightly lifted the cat's head with his left hand at an angle of about 45 degrees, and stimulated and scratched the cat's jaw with his right middle finger, making it unable to close.
(4) Quickly put the tablets between the thumb and forefinger into the cat's mouth, as close as possible to the throat and the base of the tongue, so that it is not convenient for him to pop them out with his tongue.
(5) Close the cat's upper and lower jaws quickly and fix them slightly, so that it has no chance to spit out or shake its head and spit out the pills. Don't let go at once, wait for a while, slowly let go, and make sure the medicine is really swallowed.
Note: Some smart cats will learn to put the medicine in their mouth after eating it several times, and then secretly spit it out after others let go. To deal with such a cat, it is necessary to extend the time of step (5). If necessary, you can pinch your throat with your fingers from the outside to stimulate. You see how many times he swallowed it, and the pills basically went down.
2. Water agent
Liquid medicine can be fed like this. The fixing method is the same as above. Take a needle-pulled syringe in your right hand and inject medicine from the cat's mouth (that is, the back teeth).
note:
(1) If it is a potion or water that is not too bad in taste (some diseases need to drink a lot of water, such as urethritis and urolithiasis), it can be given slowly. If there is liquid in the cat's mouth, it may be swallowed reflexively and it is not easy to choke.
(2) If it tastes bad and the cat's resistance is fierce, it is necessary to take the medicine several times to control the amount that the cat can swallow at a time, which is about 1 ml. When feeding, you should punch it into your mouth quickly. At this time, be careful not to hit directly in the throat, which is easy to choke.
Step 3 paste
The fixation method and administration steps are basically the same as the tablet administration method. Squeeze the ointment on your right index finger. Another simple way is to put ointment on the cat's nose and mouth, so that he will lick it himself.
4. capsules
For the administration method of capsules, please refer to the administration method of tablets. If the capsule is too big to swallow, you can take it apart, take out the powder and dissolve it in water, and feed it as an aqueous solution.
note:
(1) Dissolve the solid drug into liquid and feed it. Considering the effective time after drug dissolution, it is best to feed as much as you can, and don't dissolve a lot in advance, so as not to lose the efficacy when feeding.
(2) Capsule medicine is generally bitter, and the best water solubility is about 1 ml, so as to eat it in one bite and relieve the pain.
