How to give a Cat a Pill

Oh wow, you made it look pretty easy :lol: Hope Jessy is feeling better soon!

:lol: he is right as rain :roll: foot all better, can't see a mark now :D

Back to putting his feet where he shouldn't no doubt, not sure if it was cat, rat or bun that did it, he may even have steeped on something, but he couldn't care :roll::love:

Just glad he takes his medicine so easy:love:
 
WOW what a good boy!
I have to sit on my cat almost, hold her mouth open, put it as far down as I can and then quickly squirt a tiny bit of water in her mouth with a syringe so she actually swallows it.. and half the time she still manages to bring it back up somehow!!:roll:
 
What a gorgeous well behaved little fella!

I took my cat Susie to the vet yesterday and they gave her a pill by shooting it down her throat :shock:

Needless to say it worked and didnt come back up. All was forgiven by the time I got her home as she was too busy moaning about the car journey :lol:

Pill poppers, we use them at the rescue, they are awesome! :lol: but you do need to 'pop' them right at the back of the tongue so that only the most ingenious stand a hope of spitting them up!

I always use them now, even on the ones other staff say you don't need to, it's so much easier and quicker, meaning less stress for the cat. Also avoids bitten fingers, I once got my finger bitten by a kitten, the darn thing was less than 3 months, the most adorable friendly playful little thing and I left the pen bleeding :shock: got somewhat teased for that one :lol:

I wish all cats were that easy to give pills too!!! :love:

We put them in some cheese, but it's not always easy.
I just gave my dog a pill (they are huge) rolled in some cheese, but she ate the cheese and spit the pill out. However, she took it and ate it:D

My cats, it's grab them, force mouth open, put pill at back and stroke under chin until they swallow.
I got a pill popper too, wonder where it is...
 
1. Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from yard.

6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot.

12. Call fire department to retrieve the friggin' cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil-wrap.

13. Tie the dang thing's front paws to rear paws with twine and bind tightly to leg of dining room table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour two pints of water down throat to wash pill down.
