Great advice!

.... but couldn't they have told you that before you suffered the scratches and bites? lol

 

Good to know. And if you hear of a good one for the cat too, let me know.

 

I can so relate to this. Jack needed drops every 2 hours after his surgery. That's right, every 2 hours.

I don't know if it will help you to know that it gets much, much easier as they get older. The kids mind you, the cats probably not so much.

:-)

 

I wish I had known you were having problems with the drops - I could have helped you out.

 

I had a similar issue with ear drops when my son was having a lot of infections. I finally figured out I could do one ear while he was nursing. Then I would wait until he was asleep to do the other ear. Which only worked if he happened to fall asleep with the proper ear facing up.

 

Ha ha ha. The chart you drew up is priceless.

And thanks for sharing the advice. Very good to know!

 

Clever eyedrop advice - thanks!

 

Wow! That's great advise, wish I'd known that when my kids were younger and I went through the wrestling (kicking, scratching, crying)! Actually, I may still employee this technique the next time my husband needs eye drops for any reason, he is actually a bigger baby about it than my kids! He scratched his cornea once and had to put in antibiotic drops, I literally had to sit on his arms and put them in for him, wussy! :o)

Um,..I meant to say "employ", not "employee", that makes absolutely no sense at all! LOL

Real life cat carrier tip: when you put your cat into the carrier, put him/her in tail-end first. It's not easy - but it's easier. (The cat can't see it's going into a confined space until it's too late -- it's a tip I got from my vet, and it's worked like a charm for me.)

Great eyedrop advice!

 

great chart :p.

can you trick the cat with food in its carrier?
