My cat was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection 2 days ago. I've been given a 7 day course of antibiotics for her,half a tablet,twice a day,plus pain relief medicine. The pain relief is fairly easy as it's in liquid form,by syringe. But the tablets,OMG. I spent nearly 2 hours this morning trying to administer the damn thing. Caught her 4 times,and she escaped every time,then hid from me. When I finally caught her,it took me 4 attempts to get the tablet down her,and even then,she spat a bit of back out again. I live alone,so have no one to help me. I am wrapping her firmly in a towel and holding her on my lap,but it is so difficult. Any hints or tips from other cat owners who've gone through this?!
