I'm not sure if I can explain this properly....grasp them firmly by the scruff of the neck, take the dropper and put it in the side of their mouth and let the antibiotic go across their tongue, not into the back of their throat so they don't aspirate. You should also be able to hold the kittens still the same way for the eye drops. If scruffing doesn't work, try wrapping them tightly in a towel. Hope this is understandable and helps.Originally Posted by Skimble
Well, if someone could hold my hand on this one. I have a beautiful pair of twin blue/gray bobtails that are 3 months old, just rescued and sick with a respiratory inf. I need to give antibiotics with dropper and also needs eye drops. How does one go about this? Any suggestions? They weight 3 lbs. Sorry if this is trivial. Never had to forcefully give any animal med. My dogs always snarffed a pill down with any food. Thanks for your time and advice.
Yes, it works systemic. I believe you can get it in a different variety of meds besides just antibiotics. We have used this on our semi-feral cats and it worked really well. We just acted like we were rubbing and petting it while the other one applied it quickly. You just place the amount recommeded on the tip of your finger and rub it inside the ear.Originally Posted by catcaregiver
Well I feel really stupid asking this but is this paste an antibiotic that is absorbed through the skin or how does this work?
Thank you. I'll have to look into that.
Our vet does not keep it supplied. We have to order this through mail delivery from the vets office. Good luck!
