Feeding medicine and bathing cats are both "sacrificing oneself to save pets". Many shovelers feed cats medicine in order to improve their condition as soon as possible. Their hands were caught and blood flowed. They finally fed the medicine in. As a result, when you relax, you didn't say that the pills were spit out. When you looked closely, there was no figure there. Even if you found its hiding place, you still had to coax it. The previous relationship had long disappeared.
Many shovelers cried and cried after feeding, and listed feeding medicine as the biggest problem in their lives. Some smart netizens even learned from the fact that the young master of the White Horse Association was so favored by the rich woman from the matter of feeding cats.
Of course, there is no lucky person. There is a well-behaved and sensible dog at home. He helps to suppress the cat when feeding medicine, making the matter of feeding medicine much easier.
Wuhan United Animal Hospital, shoveling poop, how do you serve me to take medicine? But not all the dogs at home are so considerate, let me take you a handful, so that they can not only achieve the purpose of feeding medicine, but also avoid being hated by the master, and can also feed the medicine easily. Maybe after learning it, you can use this to make another way to make money!
Before feeding medicine, we need to make three preparations, one is to understand the medicine itself, the other is to control the cat's actions, and the third is to pry open its mouth!
Understand the drug information
· Carefully read the prescription instructions of the medicine, as well as precautions, including the dosage, the frequency of the medicine, and the duration of taking it;
· Some drugs will release the effect within the specified time (within a few hours) after swallowing. If the drug is incomplete or crushed, it will not work. It is best to ask the doctor carefully after getting the drug;
· Confirm whether the drug can be swallowed with food. Some drugs must be taken on an empty stomach. If mixed in food, it will affect the efficacy of the drug.
Control cat behavior
Because many poop shovelers almost encounter strong rejection from cats during the process of feeding medicine, and have been more or less scratched or bitten. Although you don’t need to get vaccinated by a domestic cat, no one is willing to be injured after all, so this step is very important, especially when you feed the medicine alone.
· Prepare a larger cloth, towels, bed sheets, scarves, etc.;
· Lay the towel flat on the table in a diamond-shaped manner, and let the cat slumber on it comfortably. You can gently stroke or massage it to let it relax its vigilance;
· Be sure to stick to the cat's body, wrap all its limbs (including the tail), and just expose one head, which is a bit like a baby swaddle (but I think it is more like a chicken roll);
If you are worried that it will break free, just stick a rope or a belt outside, and then place the wrapped chicken roll between your legs, so that its head is facing your knees, so that it can be fed to it.
"Pry open" the cat's mouth
Cats are different from dogs. They don't open anything consciously when they put them on their mouths. They are highly vigilant and have to smell it every time. If they find it is a medicine, they should not escape, let alone open their mouth (those who miss the silly dog are fine).
· Gently lift the cat's head at an angle of 45°;
· Then use the index finger and thumb of the left hand to form an upside-down U-shaped shape, go down the back of the head, approaching the left and right sides of the upper lip, lift it up with a little force, the nose should face the ceiling, and the cat's jaw will be slightly opened;
· After the mouth is slightly opened, the fingertips of the thumb slightly penetrate into the cat's mouth, so that it will remain open (the cat feels that the lips are against the teeth, and it will naturally open its mouth to avoid biting its mouth);
After you can fully master the above three steps, you can start feeding the medicine~
Method · 1
directly feed the pills
· Put the medicine near the base of the tongue, as long as it is placed deep enough, when the cat wants to spit it out, the muscles of the tongue will shrink and push the tablet downward into the throat.
· After putting the pills into your mouth, let the fingers against the cat's mouth bend, let the cat close the mouth, lower the jaw and swallow the pills. If you are not sure whether the cat has swallowed pills, keep pinching the cat's mouth until it swallows the pills (you can also free up your other hand to stroke the throat to help it swallow);
· If you encounter a particularly stubborn cat, you can blow it into its nostrils, and it will suck it in a condition and make a swallowing sound. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of swallowing;
· After you make sure that it swallows the pills, feed it some water or eat some nutritional cream or cans, etc., which will ensure that the pills will reach the stomach along with the food;
Method·2
Mix the pills in the food
· Do not feed the cat any food a few hours before feeding the medicine, so it will maintain a certain sense of hunger. In addition, some medicines prepared for cats are very small and will not be found in the food, so they are easy to swallow;
· It is best to prepare the food it usually likes to eat, and then feed the food into two times, hide the medicine in 1/4 of the food, and after it is finished, feed it the rest;
· Or use the medicine and snacks and stuff the medicine in, just like filling jam into a donut, the taste of the snack will cover up the taste of the tablets;
Method · 3: Feed the liquid potion to
· Because it is feeding the potion, you need to prepare a syringe.. Moreover, the cat's mouth does not need to be completely opened, so that the syringe can enter, but do not tilt the cat's head back, so that the potion can easily enter the trachea;
· Extend the syringe nozzle to the space between the cheeks and teeth (that is, the inside of the cheek);
· Then release the potion, do not stop too quickly, pause several times so that the cat can swallow the potion comfortably and regularly; if you are using a spherical syringe, slowly and gently squeeze the rubber ball, release the potion into the cat's mouth, slowly release it, and stop from time to time to let it swallow;
· If you inject too much potion into the cat's mouth at once, it may breathe heavily and suck the potion into the lungs by mistake. This can cause serious consequences, such as pneumonia.
It should be noted that if the cat is struggling, you need to stop temporarily and wait until the emotions are relieved before feeding.
