4 Ways To Give Your Cat A Pill
Det kan være let for nogle at administrere piller til din kat, men for mange er det en daglig kamp. Heldigvis er der flere metoder, der kan gøre processen mindre stressende både for dig og din kat.
1. Special treats
The best way to give your cat a pill is by using treats that are made specifically for this purpose. The treats are soft, sticky, and tasty so that your cat will have no idea they are taking medicine!
2. DIY-pillelommer
I stedet for at købe godbidder, kan du også prøve at lave dine egne. PetMd anbefaler at danne "kødboller" ud af din kattes dåse mad. Lav en med deres pille, og et par andre uden.
If your cat still refuses to take the pill, you could try crushing it into a very fine powder, and then mixing it with their wet food. Make sure you check with your vet first; some pills are not intended to be crushed.
These three methods work fine as long as your cat is allowed to have food with their medicine. In the case that they're not, your best bet is to restrain your cat and give them the pill directly.
Place one thumb and forefinger on either side of the cat’s face and apply gentle pressure at the space between the teeth. Once their mouth starts to open, press down on the lower jaw and deposit the pill as far back as possible. Close the mouth and massage their throat until they swallow. To make sure the pill doesn’t remain in the esophagus, give your cat a teaspoon of water from a syringe or eyedropper.
Ligegyldigt hvilken metode du bruger, så sørg for at give din kat masser af ros bagefter!
