Welcome to My Vet Animal Hospital How-To videos. Today I will be showing you, how to give a tablet to a little cat.
So, pretty much… I’m right handed so I have the pill in my right hand, so using your left hand just hold in between where the cheeks are. The important bit is where the nose has to point to the ceiling, then the bottom of their mouth will open (or their jaw). So tilt all the way up, open, put (the tablet) all the way in close, and if you need to a bit of water. I find with cats a bit of water really helps. And that’s it!
