The vet has given us some worming meds for our 2 kittens who are about 9-10 weeks old, and under 1kg. It's called Panacur Oral Paste, and comes in a little syringe with notches for each dose. We are to give them one dose each for three days.
Yesterday, my boyfriend and I were (mostly) successful. One of the kittens dribbled a bit out and the other took it like a champ.
But today, we could not get their mouths open! Does anyone have any advice on how to do this with minimal distress? The vet did it so quickly I didn't get a chance to see if he had a special trick, so I assumed it would be easy! We are worried that we are either going to injure the kittens holding them, or hurt their mouths trying to open them.
Thank you!
