In petco I saw some sedation collars and treats for cats that are supposed to sedate them. I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have much cat experience, the Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve had two cats before, one was an adult cat that never got dirty; the second was a huge teenager maine coon(chewie) that was very docile but very active and got really dirty and needed regular baths; donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t get me wrong; chewie scratched me a few times during the many showers and he hated the showers and would run away but he was still docile enough that I could force him to take a bath plus my roommate was super experienced with cats and helped me out the first few times. I was really confident knowing I lived with her.
When I tried to give conchita bath yesterday, I realized she was not a docile maine coon. She started screaming so much I couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t get anything done and I got a nasty scratch to boot so I need help here. I need to give her a bath really badly; she has fleas. She needs at least a regular shampoo before I start any treatment or take her to the vet,
Are cat sedation treats safe? Do they work? Please donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t stone me if theyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re not safe. I have absolutely no clue obviously.
If theyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re not, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll get a second person to hold her down. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll deal with her screaming, I just donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to get too hurt during the process.
I was really spoiled in that the first cat I had long term was a maine coon; extremely docile by cat standards (what cat people tell me)
When people saw what I did with my maine coon they told me other cats would tolerate so much handling
Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m seeing that now :/
Anyway thanks in advance for your help! Go easy on me!
