Hi guys
Long story short one of my kitties has allergies, cetirizine (zyrtec) is kind of helping (scratching goes down to the point where she doesn't wound herself but licking remains and she is licking herself bald although without skin damage)
We are still looking for the allergen without any luck, but the point of this post is asking if my new "invention" poses any risks specially aspiration.
so using a syringe I cut the needle from the plastic thingy, and then I cut the tip of the plastic guard to have a wide hole. Then I feel the syringe with water and place the pill in the hole. It kind of dissolves but it stays in the long plastic part. Then I open my cats mouth and slowly but steadily shoot the pill + water. Lately she has been foaming and since the pill shoots out with water I am worried about aspiration.
Thoughts?
I have tried to first pill her, and then water but everytime she resists more and more and spits the pill and wont open her mouth.
