Hi people,
So we had a panic episode with my newly adopted cat yesterday. I was giving him medicines for the past few days for the deworming as recommended by my vet. Probably I gave a little higher dose than recommended yesterday and in the evening he was all drooling and had his mouth open all the time. I was suspecting rabies by reading poat of google (not smart since there is a lot of "uncategorised" information which can cause panic). I took him to the vet today and she said he is fine. It was just a response to the medication.
But she did recommend me that I wrap the cat in a blanket and then sit with him holding him since he was still pretty scared of me. Its been almost 10days now that I have him in my home and he has showed some signs of warming up to me but continues to hide most of the time. He never approaches and if the food bowl is empty he won't even meow to ask for food.
I want to try the blanket thing, to wrap him ip and hold him until he calms but I am not sure how to go about it. If I go close to him with a towel or something he just goes mad and hisses and tries to scratch.
Any suggestions? Anything to help me out with this would be great....
