One of my babies got her spay done yesterday. I was given a transdermal to put on her ear and an oral liquid.
Currently she is hiding under my bed. I'm too afraid to grab her and pull her out, risking any injury or causing her pain. Once I could get her out, I'm also concerned on how to hold her so she can't get free but won't risk injury to give her the meds, since she HATES being held in one spot/at all. I've watched videos that instruct to burrito them, but she always managed to get free in other cases. Further, if I do find a way to safely hold her still, I'm worried about the oral medication. (Biomox). I do want to try by putting it in some wet food, but am worried she won't eat it. Is it bitter, or they don't notice the taste?
Any advice on how to deal with fidgety/struggling cats that have just been spayed?
If I decide using the syringe to administer the oral, what helped you with your cats? ( This is something I've watched videos on as well, but couldn't find any that showed a cat that really refuses/struggles against being held still as examples).
In the future, if this is needed, how can I get my cats used to being held?
Note* I have also contacted the vet, and am waiting for a call back
