How to give cat a pill
1. Always gives water right away after pilling a cat. Not only will this declaration that the cat has ingest the pill, it will save the cat a lot of pain and restlessness.
2. Train a cat from the time it is a kitten to take pills. If a little piece of a Kitzyme tablet (or alike) is given as a pill, then followed-up by the genuine thing or a treat, the cat becomes used to pills.
3. Coat the pill in a small amount of margarine -- this covers the taste of the pill and assists it to slip down without any problems.
4. Always admire your cat and give lots of hugs/kisses afterwards. Treats afterwards help too.
5. Putting the pill in cream cheese is the simplest, as the pill stays in the cheese. Most cats love cream cheese but aren\'t allowable to have it. Once the cat gets the cream cheese in his or her mouth, it\'s sticky and makes the pills difficult to spit out.
6. Tuna also works well, as cats love tuna. Bits of chicken or beef also work well.
7. Cutting a slit in some cheese and putting in the pill works
8. Some cats love peanut butter. Like cream cheese, it is sticky and hard to get out of their mouths. Be sure to use only a very small quantity because too much peanut butter can choke.
9. Vets also will give you a free thin plastic and rubber pill dispenser to put the pill in the back of the cat\'s mouth. It makes getting the pill in easier if the cat refuses to eat.
10. Vets can also provide empty (and needle-less) syringes in which you can administer crushed up pills in a small amount (.5 ml) of water.
11. If any of these didn\'t work, mix the pill with cream cheese and put the mixture on the cat\'s front leg. He will instantly lick it and therefore consume his medication.
12. If there are other cats around, make certain they are not permitted to eat this treat prior to, during, or after the intended cat. You may need a split bowl of baby food for the other cats so no rivalries arise.
13. If you are putting the pill down its mouth in its place of feeding it to him/her watch the cat after you put the pill in its mouth, infrequently the cat will spit it back up.
14. For any more query please consult your neighborhood veterinarian.
