hello I'm Lucy Chadwick the in-house
veterinary surgeon for pet drugs online
today I'm going to show you how to give
a tablet to your cut cuts may need to be
given tablets for worming or as other
medication
cuts are a lot less likely than dogs to
take a tablet hidden in food so giving
them a tablet is often necessary as a
first step it is quite important that
your cat is safely restrained for this
procedure
placing them onto a table is a good idea
today we're going to show you how to
carefully wrap them in a towel to

prevent them escaping and also prevent
you from getting scratched
remember to pet your cat and stay calm
throughout the entire procedure so put
the tire lever one way and then back
over the other way keeping the head out
it's a good idea to have an assistant to
hold the cat for you while you give the
tablet
you will need to gently restrain the cat
on either side of their upper jaw I will
be using my left hand as I'm
right-handed then need to tilt the head
back 45 degrees you will notice eyes to
tilt the head back the lower jaw my

slack in a little bit doesn't need to
bring down the lower jaw push the tablet
back into the mouth the need to keep the
head raised and you may gently stroke
the throat to help the traveler to work
its way down a small bit of water in a
syringe may be introduced to help
promote swallowing when the cat starts
to lick their lips you can be pretty
sure that the tablet has been swallowed
well done
you
a pill giver can also be used to prevent
you having to put your fingers into your
car tonight

you simply place the tablet in the
chamber at the top once it's been gently
introduced into your cat's mouth you
depress the plunger and the tablet is
given if you struggle to give tablets to
your cat or if their temperament would
preclude it do talk to your veterinary
surgeon about alternative ways of
medicating and worming your pet I hope
