Wayne, I am so happy that you took the kitty to the Vet. I am glad the results were not bad and that the kitty is on the road to recovery.
Wayne, this method worked for me: Get a heavy weight sweatshirt or shirt and cut off the sleeve at the sholder.
Take the kitty and stuff it in the sleeve (wide end) and shove its head through to the other end (narrow end) ... Now you have its legs encased and its head exposed, yes? Then you tighten your grip on the small end (the cuff), holding the head still....
They can flail all they want with their legs, cause the long sleeve is encasing them.... You should have one hand free at this point....
What I do, is put the cat on the counter, hold it down with my arm and body and then use both hands to work on the head. Then pry open the mouth..... and drop in the medication. You can hold on to the kitty until it swallows the meds.
I used a soft/heavy sweatshirt from those college days.....
My cats caught on eventually, but I could put the sleeve on them in any room, then carry them to the counter area. I actually cut off both sleeves and kept one washed and clean for the next day....
Good luck. And again, I am happy to hear that your kitty is recovering!!!!![]()
