Precautions for giving medicine to cats:

1. When feeding a cat, you must prescribe the right medicine and do not give the cat random medicine. During the feeding process, many parents will decide on their own to give the cat human medicine if the cat becomes sick. This is a very wrong approach. If your cat is sick, you must go to a professional pet store or pet hospital to see a doctor. Under the guidance of the doctor, the cat should be given the correct medication. Only when the medication is taken correctly will it be effective. Do not change the time and dosage of medication without authorization, and do not delay.

2. Give medicine to cats according to the rules. Don’t combine two meals into one just because you forgot to give medicine to the cat. This will put a great burden on the cat’s body and for the cat. It also has a great impact. The use of most drugs is determined based on the cat's weight. Such a random combination of drugs will increase the burden on the cat, and may even cause poisoning in the cat due to the drugs.

3. You must pay more attention to the use of drugs. You must understand which drugs can be fed to cats and which drugs are not. Many cats have kidney failure and eventually die because of indiscriminate use of drugs. For this reason, This point must be taken seriously. You must not give medicine to cats blindly, and do not feed food to cats based on your own subjective judgment.

4. When taking oral doxycycline tablets, try not to put the dry tablets directly into the cat and pull it down, because if the dry tablets stick to the esophagus, it may cause damage to the esophageal mucosa, secondary esophagitis, and serious In this case, severe esophageal stricture may be induced, leading to severe reflux. Try to put it in the capsule and drink water. If you really only feed dry tablets, drink plenty of water, preferably 5ml or more, to ensure that the tablets enter the stomach!

Tips for feeding medicine to cats:

1. Put it into the cat’s mouth quickly

There is no other secret to this method; One word: Hurry! If the cat knows that you are feeding it medicine, it will definitely run away or resist, so we need to put the medicine into its mouth at lightning speed so that it does not know what it is eating.

Specific steps: Pinch the cat's upper jaw, and then pinch the cat's lower jaw with the other hand. When the cat opens its mouth, feed the tablet immediately, and then close the cat's mouth. You can let go once you feel the swallowing movement. If the cat is really resisting, you can wrap the cat in a small towel to restrict its movement.

2. Mix the medicine into the cat’s food

This method is generally suitable for liquid, capsule or tablet medicine. In this way, when preparing cat food or canned food for cats, mix powdered medicine into it, or put sugar-coated tablets directly into the food, so that the cat can eat it unconsciously. However, this method has certain "risks". If your kitten is too smart, he may pick out the pills or not take them.

3. Use injectionDevice-feeding medicine

If it is some liquid or medicine that needs to be taken, a syringe can be used. Before giving the medicine, stir the medicine evenly and use a syringe to draw the medicine.

When giving medicine, pay attention to fixing the kitten, hold the cat's head with one hand, and hold the syringe in the other hand to give medicine. Insert the syringe between the cat's teeth. Avoid pointing the syringe directly at the cat's throat to avoid choking. Inject slowly or let the cat lick it on its own. It should be noted that when giving medicine to the cat, water should also be given in time to prevent the cat from not fully taking the pills or powder.
