This morning I had to take Leonard and Sheldon, my 10 week old kittens into the vets this morning. They had started sneezing last weekend and after a couple of days they had seemed better. Last night I got home from work to find Leonard with his left eye swollen looking on the cheek under the eye, the eye tearing and third eyelid showing. Also started hearing Sheldon sneezing again. At the vets I was given a liquid antibiotic for both, along with an oitment for Leonard's eye. The first dose of antibiotics was given at the vets office, with me holding each kitten while the vet gave them their medicine.
The eye ointment I can handle fairly as a one person job. What I am trying to figure out is how to succeed with the antibiotic. Having a second person to help, is not an option since it is only me. With my adult cats I have always placed them between my legs while kneeling on the floor. With wiggly squirmy kittens I am not sure how successful this method will be. Looking for some ways that others give their kittens medication when there is no one to help. Thanks.
