First and foremost, please always follow our dosing instructions for any medication. These can be found on the label that was with the medication prescribed to your pet.

One way to give your cat tablets is outlined below

Ask a helper located behind your pet to hold the cat's forelegs and chest so that the animal isn't able to raise its paws. Then, with your left hand, hold the cat's head firmly.

Gently tip the cat's head back, and you'll notice that the cat will open its mouth slightly. Using your other hand, open the mouth fully by pushing down on the cat's lower front teeth

Drop the medication into the cat's mouth and push it as far to the back of the mouth as possible with your finger or the rubber end of a pencil.
Close the cat's mouth and gently rub beneath the nose to stimulate the animal to swallow.

If you have trouble with the method above, why not visit the clinic and we can give you advice on your technique, or discuss other methods of medicating your cat, including using a "pill-popper" a device designed to make this an easier task
