• Pill Administration: Utilize Pill Pockets, a soft and tasty treat where you can hide the pill, making it more appealing to your cat! Consider pill guns designed to place the pill on the back of the tongue, minimizing the chance of rejection.

• Transdermal Gel: Some medications come in transdermal gel form, applied topically like lotion. Understanding the absorption rate and careful attention to dosing are crucial for effective transdermal gel use.

How do I give my cat liquid medicine? 

Giving your cat liquid medicine can be done using a syringe or by mixing it with a small amount of their favorite wet food. Gently approach your cat, offer positive reinforcement, and administer the liquid slowly to avoid any stress.
