Hi, Cat parents.
So Binx - who had an intermittant "honking" cough - is being treated for mycoplasma felis. Treatment is 5 ml of doxycycline followed by 5 ccs of water. He takes the antibiotic just fine - syringed in to to "pocket" of his cheek - but he HATES the water and fights it. Guys, I have to do this for 28 days, twice a day, then off for a month, and then back another 28 days!
Do you have any tips or tricks for getting a cat to not fight water being syringed into his mouth? It is really difficult
