How do you worm a cat?

Question

i put the worm medicine in a bowl with mile and her favorite treats, but she wont even touch it....what should i do?

Answer 1

Put a small amount of wet cat food (a very good brand with a strong odor). Mix in the meds and feed it to your cat. This is better than putting it in the bowl because you know she's getting all the medicine. Good luck!

Answer 2

Is it a tablet or liquid? if it is a tablet you are going to have to "pill" the cat. Hold the cat by the scruff, use your finger to open the mouth and put the pill as far back in the mouth as possible. then hold the mouth closed and rub the neck until cat swallows. A liquid is usually easier, but you do it pretty much he same way. if all else fails you may have to have your vet show you how to do it in the office

Answer 3

You need to put it in a syringe and shoot it down their throat- put the tip of the syringe in her mouth to open her teeth and shove the syringe far down so she can't spit the wormer out and push the plunger. You need to do it this way with all oral meds- wormer tastes awful, but is necessary

Answer 4

Grab her behind the head and squeeze her jaws until she opens her mouth. Stuff the pill down her throat. It is the only way to make sure she gets it.

Answer 5

You can force her to take it. My cat had worms, I took him to the vet. They gave him one shot and that was it. Easier, but more expensive.

Answer 6

You need to force feed it to her. There are "blow guns" for this. You blow it down her throat.

Damn pets won't eat meds after smelling it.
I fed my pup meds wrapped within her treats. She always spit it out.

Answer 7

loving it and holding it
