Are there any ways to keep them from shredding your arms as you try to help them feel better?

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\">(\u00c8 tuo <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/it\/il-gatto-continua-a-leccarsi-le-labbra\/\">gatto che si lecca le labbra<\/a><\/strong> senza farmaci? Scoprilo nel nostro post sul 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\">Ci sono alcuni gatti che, in nessun caso, prenderanno facilmente una pillola o un farmaco liquido. Se il tuo gatto \u00e8 noto per rifiutare i farmaci liquidi, potrebbe essere necessario parlare con il veterinario di altri tipi di farmaci disponibili per loro.<\/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>Dai la medicina al tuo gatto alla stessa ora ogni singolo giorno<\/strong>. Anche se questa potrebbe sembrare una buona idea perch\u00e9 ai gatti piace la routine, in realt\u00e0 potrebbe turbarli ulteriormente. Il tuo gatto inizier\u00e0 a rifiutarsi di uscire durante quell&#039;ora del giorno, anche se \u00e8 coinvolto il cibo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hai mescolato la medicina con il loro cibo preferito<\/strong>. Per lo stesso motivo di cui sopra, se il tuo gatto inizia ad aspettarsi qualcosa di disgustoso nella sua routine o nel suo cibo, inizier\u00e0 a storcere il naso. Inoltre, il tuo gatto potrebbe mangiare solo una piccola porzione di cibo e lasciare una parte della dose del medicinale.<\/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\">Posso mescolare farmaci liquidi con cibo per gatti?<\/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=\"gatto soriano marrone e bianco su tessuto bianco\" 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\">Come somministrare farmaci con il cibo<\/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\">Perch\u00e9? Perch\u00e9 il pat\u00e8 di gattini \u00e8 progettato per essere assaggiato <em>davvero, davvero buono. <\/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\">Prova una piccola porzione di pat\u00e8 di gattino su un piatto. Aggiungi una piccola quantit\u00e0 di farmaco. Mescola i due e vedi se il tuo gatto mangia la porzione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L&#039;hanno divorato? Bene. Aggiungi un po&#039; pi\u00f9 di cibo e medicine per assicurarti che ricevano l&#039;intera quantit\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancora una volta, fallo come regalo prima o dopo il loro pasto regolare. Ci\u00f2 impedir\u00e0 al tuo gatto di diventare sospettoso o schizzinoso.<\/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\">Come somministrare farmaci a mano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A volte ci sono restrizioni che significano che devi somministrare a mano farmaci liquidi a un gatto. I seguenti passaggi dovrebbero aiutarti a somministrare la medicina a un felino che non collabora:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avere un amico nelle vicinanze per aiutare, se necessario.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepara le tue provviste. Dovresti avere un asciugamano sotto il tuo gatto. Avere la siringa riempita con la quantit\u00e0 prescritta di farmaco e nelle vicinanze.<\/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\">manipolazione degli asciugamani<\/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>Non inclinare la testa verso l&#039;alto<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Con l&#039;altra mano, solleva la siringa all&#039;angolo della bocca, dietro i canini.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continuare a spingere la siringa in avanti finch\u00e9 non entra nella bocca. Il tuo gatto potrebbe stringere i denti insieme. \u00c8 qui che un paio di mani in pi\u00f9 possono aiutarti a tenere la bocca aperta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stringere delicatamente la siringa per erogare il medicinale. Fallo lentamente, in modo che il tuo gatto possa deglutire e respirare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Una volta somministrato il medicinale, lascia andare il tuo gatto. Dai loro una ricompensa per il loro buon comportamento.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il video qui sotto mostra come somministrare la medicina liquida:<\/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=\"Come somministrare farmaci liquidi a un gatto\" 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\">Cosa devo fare se il mio gatto vomita la medicina?<\/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\">Cosa succede se il mio gatto ha la bava alla bocca?<\/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=\"Il gatto nero guarda dritto nella telecamera\" 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\">Considerazioni finali sulla medicazione dei gatti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat won\u2019t take liquid medicine, don\u2019t give up!

Spruzza delicatamente il farmaco, un po&#039; alla volta, lasciando che il gatto lo deglutisca. Una volta somministrato il farmaco, offri un altro bocconcino e loda il tuo gatto per la sua collaborazione. Se il tuo gatto lotta, non forzarlo. Fare una pausa e riprovare pi\u00f9 tardi.
