The main reason is the unfamiliarity of it all. A sick cat is a stressed cat. Therefore, they aren\u2019t going to like anything upsetting their routine further. Second, most medications aren\u2019t the most appetizing. While some cats have no issues licking up a liquid medication, others are going to turn their nose up at it or even foam at the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Es tuyo <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/es\/gato-sigue-lamiendo-los-labios\/\">gato lamiendo sus labios<\/a><\/strong> sin medicaci\u00f3n? \u00a1Desc\u00fabrelo en nuestra publicaci\u00f3n de blog!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, your technique might be wrong. Here\u2019s how to give cats liquid medicine: never come at them head-on. Cats do not like being approached from the front, especially when they are aggravated. Try coming towards your cat to administer the liquid medication from the side or behind. Envelope them in your arms to make them feel safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hay algunos gatos que, bajo ninguna circunstancia, tomar\u00e1n f\u00e1cilmente una pastilla o un medicamento l\u00edquido. Si se sabe que su gato rechaza los medicamentos l\u00edquidos, es posible que deba hablar con el veterinario sobre otros tipos de medicamentos disponibles para ellos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-don-ts-of-giving-liquid-medicine-to-a-cat\">The Don\u2019ts of Giving Liquid Medicine to a Cat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While on the subject of what not to do when giving medicine to your cat, let\u2019s cover a few more things. There are a couple of mistakes people tend to make when trying to get a cat to take medication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You try mixing the medicine in with your cat\u2019s water<\/strong>. Don\u2019t do this. Most cats are picky about their water and won\u2019t drink it if it tastes even slightly off. Furthermore, your cat needs to stay hydrated when they are sick, or their condition could worsen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Le das el medicamento a tu gato a la misma hora todos los d\u00edas.<\/strong>. Si bien esto puede parecer una buena idea porque a los gatos les gusta la rutina, en realidad podr\u00eda molestarlos a\u00fan m\u00e1s. Tu gato comenzar\u00e1 a negarse a salir durante ese momento del d\u00eda, incluso si hay comida de por medio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mezclaste la medicina con su comida favorita.<\/strong>. Por la misma raz\u00f3n que la anterior, si tu gato comienza a esperar algo desagradable dentro de su rutina o comida, comenzar\u00e1 a mirarlo con desd\u00e9n. Adem\u00e1s, su gato podr\u00eda comer solo una peque\u00f1a porci\u00f3n de comida y dejar atr\u00e1s parte de la dosis del medicamento.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-mix-liquid-medication-with-cat-food\">\u00bfPuedo mezclar medicamentos l\u00edquidos con comida para gatos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can mix your cat\u2019s liquid medication with food, but is it the best idea? Not always. Before attempting to mix liquid medicine with your cat\u2019s meal, talk to your vet first. Some medications can\u2019t be added to good because of the ingredients. For example, some medicines will bind with cheeses or a cheesy gravy. Your cat won\u2019t get their medicine if that happens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, if your cat won\u2019t take liquid medicine directly, tempting them with food or a treat is one of the best ways to go about it. Keep in mind that cats are clever and may eat around the liquid medication if you don\u2019t mix it in well enough. Additionally, they may smell the food and refuse to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"gato atigrado marr\u00f3n y blanco sobre textil blanco\" class=\"wp-image-595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1176.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-840x630.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brown-and-white-tabby-cat-on-white-textile-stockpack-unsplash-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-give-medication-with-food\">C\u00f3mo administrar medicamentos con alimentos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to try the food trick with liquid medicine? As mentioned earlier, using your cat\u2019s favorite wet food could end badly. Instead, pick up a can or two of kitten formula pate from the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfPor qu\u00e9? Porque el pat\u00e9 de gatito est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ado al gusto <em>muy, muy bien. <\/em>It will be a fabulously tempting treat for your adult cats, as well as sick kittens. They\u2019ll go nuts for the kitten pate and never realize they just ate a dose of medication, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pruebe con una peque\u00f1a porci\u00f3n de pat\u00e9 de gatito en un plato. Agregue una peque\u00f1a cantidad de medicamento. Mezcle los dos y vea si su gato se come la porci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfLo devoraron? Bien. Agregue un poco m\u00e1s de alimentos y medicamentos para asegurarse de que obtengan la cantidad total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuevamente, haga esto como un regalo antes o despu\u00e9s de su hora habitual de comida. Eso evitar\u00e1 que tu gato sospeche o sea quisquilloso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-give-medication-by-hand\">C\u00f3mo administrar medicamentos a mano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A veces hay restricciones que significan que tienes que darle medicamentos l\u00edquidos a un gato a mano. Los siguientes pasos deber\u00edan ayudarlo a administrar medicamentos a un felino que no coopera:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tenga un amigo cerca para ayudar, si es necesario.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dise\u00f1e sus suministros. Debes tener una toalla debajo de tu gato. Tenga la jeringa llena con la cantidad recetada de medicamento y cerca.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place your cat on the towel with their back facing you. If possible sit their back against your leg or the crook of your arm so they can\u2019t escape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your cat is going to squirm or get aggressive, use the towel to wrap them up. Call it what you want\u2014a cat burrito, purrito, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesprucepets.com\/how-to-burrito-a-cat-5069576#:~:text=How%20to%20Make%20a%20Cat%20Burrito%201%20Lay,Process%20for%20Nail%20Trims%20and%20Paw%20Handling.%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">manipulaci\u00f3n de toallas<\/a>\u2014it\u2019s a safe way to restrain your cat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some cats may lick at the tip of the syringe. Bead a little of the medicine to see if they will do that. If so, you won\u2019t have to fight them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your cat won\u2019t take liquid medicine that way? Gently grab the top of their head with one hand. Your forefinger and thumb should be on the cat\u2019s cheekbones. <strong>No incline la cabeza hacia arriba<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Con la otra mano, levante la jeringa hasta la comisura de la boca, en \u00e1ngulo detr\u00e1s de los dientes caninos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contin\u00fae empujando la jeringa hacia adelante hasta que entre en la boca. Tu gato podr\u00eda apretar los dientes. Aqu\u00ed es donde un par de manos adicionales pueden ayudarlo a mantener la boca abierta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apriete suavemente la jeringa para dispensar el medicamento. Hazlo lentamente para que tu gato pueda tragar y respirar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Una vez administrado el medicamento, deja ir a tu gato. Darles una recompensa por su buen comportamiento.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El siguiente video le muestra c\u00f3mo administrar el medicamento l\u00edquido:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"C\u00f3mo dar medicaci\u00f3n l\u00edquida a un gato\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y3meUkY2e4Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-do-i-do-if-my-cat-throws-up-medicine\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 hago si mi gato vomita medicamentos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the event that your cat is vomiting up the liquid medicine, don\u2019t immediately try to give your friend more. The best course of action is to call the vet and ask what to do. If your cat won\u2019t take liquid medicine because it won\u2019t stay down, the vet may have to try something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, if you\u2019re worried your cat will throw up a larger dose, cut the dose in half in the beginning. See their reaction first then start building up to a bigger dose. This could help your cat keep down a small portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-if-my-cat-is-foaming-at-the-mouth\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si mi gato est\u00e1 echando espuma por la boca?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You just gave your kitty a shot of medication but now she\u2019s foaming at the mouth and shaking her head. Should you be concerned? Not really. Foaming at the mouth is a dramatic reaction that cats have when they have tasted something horrible. If you accidentally squeezed a good portion of medication onto the back of your cat\u2019s tongue, they might start foaming shortly after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t worry, though. With a drink of water, your cat\u2019s melodramatics will \u201cpawse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-480x720.jpg\" alt=\"El gato negro mira directamente a la c\u00e1mara.\" class=\"wp-image-596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-253x380.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-1568x2352.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/black-cat-looks-straight-into-the-camera-stockpack-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts-on-medicating-cats\">Reflexiones finales sobre la medicaci\u00f3n de gatos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat won\u2019t take liquid medicine, don\u2019t give up!

Los gatos pueden sentir tus emociones, por lo que es importante mantener la calma y la relajaci\u00f3n durante todo el proceso. Habla con tu gato con voz suave. Consiga la ayuda de otra persona si es posible. Una persona puede sostener al gato mientras la otra le administra el medicamento. Dele a su gato una peque\u00f1a golosina o lama algo que le guste (por ejemplo, jugo de at\u00fan) para crear una asociaci\u00f3n positiva. Roc\u00ede suavemente el medicamento, poco a poco, mientras permite que el gato lo trague. Una vez administrado el medicamento, ofr\u00e9zcale otra golosina y felicite a su gato por su cooperaci\u00f3n. Si tu gato tiene dificultades, no lo fuerces.
