Sometimes you’ll need to give your cat medicine orally. You can smash up pills and mix it into a small amount of meat for your cat to gobble down. Sometimes this doesn’t work since your kitty may object to the taste of the medicine or they lick their food rather than take bites. Some medicines are available in liquid form. Hold your cat’s head from above and tilt it back. Insert your thumb in between the jaws to open the mouth. Then quickly use the medicine’s eyedropper to shoot it beyond the tongue and into the throat. There are also pill guns that have rubber fingers to hold a pill on one end and a plunger button on the other to expel the pill. Open your cat’s mouth as described and quickly insert the gun in far enough that you can release the pill behind the tongue. Learn more from your Taylorville, IL vet.
