How to Give a Liquid Medicine to a Cat
Liquids may be given by spoon, plastic bottle or rubber syringe. A plastic bottle or rubber syringe is best. First prepare the medicine, then have your assistant hold the cat on the table. Keep its head level. Now take the loose skin on one side of the mouth near the corner, and pull it away from the teeth. When you pull the skin away from the teeth, a pouch will be formed. Pour the medicine into the pouch, taking care not to pour too quickly, as this may result in some liquid getting into the windpipe or lungs. After you have poured all the medicine into the cat’s pouch, release the skin and it will go back to its former position.Hold the cat’s mouth closed until it swallows.
