I came here pissed off at the other videos showing the most chill cats I've ever seen just letting people easily place the syringe in the corner of their mouth and give the meds. They barely had to fucking hold the cats. Who the hell does that help? lol
your cat is not shaking and spitting it out. mine shakes and spit it goes all over the floor and walls. it goes psychopath. doxycycline is diffuclt it's much worse that amox. plus I am just alone nobody will hold the cat. wrapping with towel is useless as well it can get off like psycho exorcism. even bathing is like exorcism and i have lots of cats here.
the medicine gets wasted it the cat spits it out and I get butchered all the time. The cat does karate on me and even his back legs will scratch me. he keeps killing me. it's hard to feed antibiotic to the cat it's like fighting ninjas. 😫😭
Thank you for the tips. We have several cats and use the drowning method by immersing the comb with impaled fleas FAST into a nearby dish of water that has a few drops of dishwashing liquid. We get a lot of fleas that way with our indoor/outdoor cats.
my dog is acting as if possessed by Satan himself, duuuuuude, he will reverse his head completely as if his neck was chewing gum 🙄 it's very stressful 😖
My cat went outside for the first time and went missing we found him a few days later and he had fleas. We treated both out cats and our home for months and all evidence of the fleas is gone but I sometimes find random fleas on my cats. The treatment the vets gave us doesn't seem to work
Give the liquid medication a little bit at a time. Start with a quarter of the meds first, if not give a bit less in the syringe. That way you have more control of the medicine and less wastage. Always give your cat cuddles before and after giving the medicine. I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes ❤
@@argaelnuezman669 I'm sorry to hear about your cat being at the vet again. It must be terribly stressful for both of you *hugs* When giving the medicine, what I meant to say was, just have a little bit of the meds in the syringe at a time. I usually use 4 syringes so that a quarter of the meds would be in each syringe and I don't lose count of how many times I've given the meds (My vet gives extra syringes). I gently point the syringe at the side of my cat's mouth; usually they would open their mouth slightly, and I inject the meds into their mouth, pointing at the tongue and not directly down their throat. The amount is so little they would have no time to resist lol. If they start to get irritated, I give them some space and come back a few minutes later. I'm always calm when giving my cats their meds. When I'm calm, they're calm, because cats can sense our energy. I talk to them as to why I'm giving them their meds, and that I love them, and I praise them all the time when I'm giving them their meds. This way, my cats associate meds as something good, rather than something threatening. Always give cuddles with the meds. I hope your cat will come home soon. I hope you are getting some support during these challenging times. I had a few cats with CKD before, it was rough. Sending you and your cat lots of love ❤❤❤❤❤
When giving liquid medication to my cats, I divide the dose into two or three parts, and use two/ three syringes. I find that my cats are less stressed with the smaller doses given a few times, rather than 1 big dose. There is less spitting out of the medicine, and therefore less wastage. When trying to give the liquid medicine in one big dose, the syringe sometimes gets stuck when trying to push the medicine out, only for all of it to come out and surprising the cat. With smaller doses, you have better control of the syringe, and it is less messy. Always give your cats pets and cuddles and comforting words before and after giving them their medicine, to calm them down. If you are stressed, they will know and get worried, but if you bring a calm energy, they tend to relax. It takes some practice, and lots of patience.
It's funny when you look at the date and then reply, but oh well we all come across this in our lives at one point or another. I was instructed to give my cat 0.45 just wondering if you feel that was a lot with your cat? Also, my cat no longer wants to sit with me due to the fact that I am the enemy now, :(
@@iamric23 Hi there 🙂 Yes, 0.45 ml is a lot. My cats can't drink all of that in one go. If I tried to do it, they would spit most of it out and karate kick me in the chest lol. What I do now, is try to give 0.1 to 0.15 at a time; don't rush it. Firstly, I hold my cat by the scruff so they can't move; I might have to lift my cat a bit so that they're on their hind legs, and I can administer the medicine at a comfortable level for me. With the other hand, I put the syringe next to their mouth, and they usually will open their mouth a bit when I do that. Sometimes I gently pry open the side of their mouth with the syringe. When their mouth opens slightly, I aim the syringe at the roof of their mouth and press. I do this using 2-3 syringes with 0.1 - 0.15 in each syringe so that I don't have to worry about giving too much in one go. If your cat gets stressed after the first syringe, give them their space and try again after a few minutes. I used to give my cats their meds in the bathroom with the door closed so that they couldn't escape. It took me a few months to figure out how to give meds to my cats, as each one of them is different; some are.cool and very trusting, some of them are more resistant; some can just sit down on all fours while I give them their meds, others I have to hold by the scruff. I hope my reply helps you, and if you have any questions, just ask 🙂
@@hayatie He has chronic renal disease at this point, he is around 19. The doctor realizes that this medicine is just giving him a quality of life at this point. I am also giving him crushed up pills twice a day to deal with his thyroid condition. He hates this oral even though it taste like vanilla.
@@iamric23 I'm sorry, it must be rough for you and your cat *hugs* You must love him very much. I don't have cats that old yet, still a few years away. You know your cat best, so I hope you find a way to feed him his meds without resistance from him. I guess I should post videos of me giving meds to my cats. Let me know how it goes with your feline friend. Sending hugs and love to both of you ❤️
The video is titled “how to use the furminator” but yet its nothing but random, vague, and debatable dialogue about dogs and brushes with bits of obvious facts on the furminator. Grade: F
Always. Plus, I find that my pets are more submissive to the vet, and the vet tech. Some of my pets fight me when trying to give liquid meds. It gets very disconcerting.
I watched from another video of a vet that this is because they didn't like the taste and as a result salivates and sometimes even foam up. This can be minimized by giving the liquid at the third back of their tongue where they'll taste it less.
My prima donna er... Cat just received his first dosage of anti-seizure medication. It was a fight for the ages. Little does he know he gets it 3 times a day from now on, every 8 hours...for life. Buckle up little buddy.
Only one cat stay stil while I give any medicine. Others struggle so hard. One even tore the towel she was wrapped. Also my medicine is nasty tasting for cats. Even if we get those in mouth they try to vomit and salivate and anyhow get rid of those liquids. Can you give me any tips. Pls help. I am desperate
