Cat Medications: Tricks For Getting Your Cat To Take Medication
Cats can be tricky to medicate, but these tips make it easier:
- Mix a little catnip with butter and coat a capsule with the mixture. The butter makes the capsule easier to swallow. Because cats make less saliva than dogs or people, the butter helps prevent the pill from becoming stuck in your pet’s throat.
- Mix flavored coffee creamers with liquid medications. Many cats like French vanilla.
- After giving the medication always give a fantastic treat to ensure the medication is swallowed.
If the medication is oral, your veterinarian may recommend that the medication be compounded into a form that is rubbed into the skin. These transdermal medications allow you, and your pet, to avoid the stress of oral medications.
