Any good ideas on getting this liquid into her?

She about tore me up this morning...
Wunst upon a Tyme...
When Boots was having his "plummin problems" and
was NOT drinking enough water (Voluntaily )...

Doc Mike told me to Squirt him his daily rations (a LOT)
of water with either an Eye Dropper OR a Syringe
(with the Sharp Needle unscrewed and discarded).

We used both "tools" - but I favored the small Syringe -
a bit easier to "load",
and a bit faster to "shoot or UNload" into his mouth...

After a few "Merrie Chases" around the house or shop -
he started to get with the program and stopped "resisting" -
because I made it a point to ALWAYS "win" -
even though we both *wore* a load or two of water
before we got the hang of things...

I DID "try" the wrap in a towel method...
Very Stressful on both of us.

What "works" with Boots, for both Liguid AND Pill administration ~
Is to have him "sitting" on the bathroom vanity;
Gently (but FIRMLY) hold his head
(palm over his head - sort of over his ears);
Thumb and Forefinger on each side -
in the back corners of his jaw;
SQUEEZE to encourage him to OPEN his mouth;
then place the Dropper or Syninge over the tongue
(actually part way down his throat);
and *SQUIRT*!!

He does a lil GAaaaaaak! and a head shake...
but it's really over before he knows it.

It helps if da Kat is "sitting" with his back to the wall -
prevents rapid escapes.

As a suggestion -
rather than possibly *waste* valuable medicine...
Do some practice runs using just Plain Water -
No Harm, No Foul if you have a few miss-fires -
and no one has to wear any medicine!

GOOD LUCK - and Happie *Shooting*!

Hey Mimi ~
Give Up! Meowmee is a Lot Bigger than you are!
Feel Better Soon!
