My cat needs surgery in a week, they gave me liquid pain medicine to give him and it's been an absolute nightmare of an experience trying to give this to him to the point I'm just crying and feel absolutely hopeless. I've watched endless videos on how to give cats liquid medication and every example has this fairly well behaved cat just allowing the vet to give him the medication. It's infuriating almost to watch.
Just the sight of the syringe my cat will run off. Try confining him in a small room before giving it to him? How? The second he suspects I'm trying to do that he avoids. He hates being picked up and won't let me do that to bring him in. Just wrap him in a towel? I can't even get him on a damn towel so that I can burrito him he knows what's coming when he sees a towel too and takes off. Just a few times of giving him this medication has him actively running from me even when I don't have the syringe now so just me he is scared of now.
what do I do!!?..I feel helpless, hopeless and like a failure.
