How to Give Medicine to a Cat Using a Dropper


Giving medication to a cat is easily accomplished following the directions below. It may be helpful to have someone assist you hold the patient.

Steps

1. Place your cat on a flat surface like a counter or table.
2. Fill the dropper with the recommended dose of medication.
3. Stand to the left side of the cat.
4. Grasp her head with your left hand, holding her mouth closed by placing your thumb on the bridge of her nose and your fingers under the lower jaw.
5. Tilt the head upward at an angle of about 30 degrees.
6. Pick up the dropper with your right hand and insert it between the lips and teeth at the corner of the mouth on her right side.
7. Slide the dropper to the back of the cheek pouch and deposit the medication there by compressing the dropper bulb.
8. Release your grasp on the head slightly, but do not let go. Tilt her nose down at an angle of about 30 degrees. This will allow the cat to swallow the medication.

Tips & Warnings

* Practice this procedure with warm tap water to perfect the technique.
* Have someone help you by holding the front legs to prevent your cat from attempting to scratch you or push your hands away.
* Remain clam and relaxed; soothe her by talking softly and gently petting her before and after.
* Trimming your cat's nails prior to attempting to medicate her will decrease the likelihood of getting scratched.
* Administer only medication that has been prescribed by your veterinarian for this cat and for this specific medical problem.
* Check the expiration date on the medication.
* Ask your veterinarian about dangers of handling the medication if you are pregnant
