My cat was tested positive for Giardia. Her vet prescribed liquid Metronidazole. Trying to give my cat this medicine is going as bad as it possibly could. I've tried putting her between my legs and hold her body while someone else puts the syringe into the side of her mouth, but she just flails her body and head and bits at the syringe. I've also tried grabbing her scruff. Nothing has been working and most of the medicine ends up on me. She also spits up and drools a lot, which I've read is a side-effect.
I called her vet and they said there aren't any alternatives. They said the pill would most likely not work because the second she tastes it, she will just spit it out, even if I put it in a pocket. They recommended that I grab as much scruff as I possibly can and turn her head upwards. I plan to try this tonight, but I don't have a good feeling that this will work at all.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
