Putting eyedrops in my cat??

[fragrancehound]

Well it has been a busy week at the vets. Magic's eye was watery and filled with puss so I took her in immediately. She has 2 little scratches which are causing all these problems with her eye. The vet gave me an antibiotic ointment for her eye that has to be applied for the next 2 weeks. Oh what fun! I just don't know why it is so challenging to give cats medicine, whether it is in liquid form, pill form, or any other form for that matter. The technician made it look so easy when she applied the ointment to magic's eye. Now when I do it it is completely the opposite.

Giving most cats any kind of medication is a two person job. One of my cats has the Chlamydia virus which causes her eye to become infected every so often.

It is absolutely impossible to corner her on my own. I simply can't do it, although I have tried. If my husband is not going to be at home, then I have to speak to a cat-friendly neighbour and have them come in twice a day to help me. It's a pain in the neck for all concerned, but Daisy will not get her medication otherwise.

Good luck!
