When they were showing me how to do it yesterday THEY didn’t even get it and said they would try later. They said it’s okay because they skip it sometimes but ugh O__O
the most effective way, in my experience, is to swaddle them in something like a towel, put them under one arm and use that hand to reach and open their mouth by pressing into the corners of their mouth and with the other hand try to get the pill as deep in their mouth/throat as you can then rub-
omg thank u any advice is appreciated, currently I’m trying to sit and hold them between my legs, use one hand to pry open their mouth and my other hand to push the pill down in there.. it’s so hard when they’re also biting me and struggling and blocking their throat with their tongue 😭😭😭😭😭
idk how they showed you but making sure to shove the pill all the way back to their throat with your finger, then holding their muzzle shut for a while (with their face aimed up so it goes down easier) is how I do it. some cats are easier than others, and some can get used to it.
one thing to try is to burrito wrap the cat prior! I'm not sure if you've ever done this or if your cat would let you, but it can immobilize them or even calm them, depending on the cat.
