How to give siamese cats a pills ?

Well, I must say that the pill cat who does not want this - rather unpleasant task. To make it easier, we resort to the ancient art of deception. If a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine to swallow us humans to cats best small ball of cream cheese. If you hide the pill in a soft cheese or a small amount of canned cat food, it is often the ideal solution. You can feed the cat a treat at the same time give her the medicine, and your cat will assume that only that there was something miraculous.

Of course, many cats, sniffing the treat, immediately recognize a Trojan horse and look at what you are offering them, with utter disgust. In this case, a more direct approach.

To do this you will need a large bath towel - the thicker, the better.Technology may change, but I do read as follows: wrap a towel cat's neck under the chin like a bib, then the shoulders and back around the body and so on until the cat has been completely wrapped in a towel so that only the head will protrude outward .Now take it in hand.

If you have a partner, then everything will be easier, but it can be done alone. I put the package with a cat on her lap the head of his own. Then, holding out one hand, I open the cat's mouth. The easiest way to do this - to reach out over the nose and cats click on her lips directly behind the long canine teeth later. Pressure at these points will cause the cat to open his mouth. After that, the other hand, place the pill on her tongue laterally. Put to the side of the pill so that it was easier to swallow, even though such a system is by no means perfect. As soon as the pill will be in the mouth of a cat, close her mouth, point its nose up and stroking the throat until the cat does not gulp. If she is licking his lips or nose, so she swallowed the pill. Now, leaving the cat wrapped in a towel and watch it for a second. It may well spit the pill back.

Once the cat swallow a pill, take a moment out to stroke her calmly and say what it remarkable and wonderful pet and how you appreciate her cooperation, even if it actually showed the strongest reluctance. Will be even better if the cat gets a small slice of some special treats. Then slowly expand the towel and release it. If the whole process will fail (which may well happen), ask your, veterinarian show you how to do it.

Another way is to crumble the pill and mix it with regular siamese cats food.Often this works well only if the medicine is not bitter. You can also try to mix the pill with some special treat, like baby food. You can also put the pill between two spoons and squeeze them - this method will crumble, most pills. If the pill does not give, you can crumble it like this: put it in a folded piece of paper and hit it with a hammer. In most cases there is no need for a strong beat on the pill: the pill fly apart into pieces after a rather weak attack.
