Unfortunately, in some cases it is impossible to give a cat a deworming tablet. Either you yourself or your cat are too excited. In this case, you will fail. Especially if you have tried several times to give your cat a tablet, but it keeps spitting out the medicine, your cat will most likely get angry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not a good idea to continue giving her the tablet in this situation. The likelihood of your cat scratching and biting is very high. There is also a risk that the gag reflex will increase and the cat may vomit. So take a break, relax and let your cat calm down. There are some alternatives that you can try if the classic administration of the tablet fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this device, available at cat accessory stores, you no longer have to put your fingers in the cat’s mouth. If this is the biggest stressor for you, using a pill popper could make the whole procedure more pleasant for you and perhaps for your cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A “pill popper” is basically a large syringe into which a tablet is poured instead of liquid medicine. The syringe is inserted into the cat’s mouth, triggered, and the pill remains in the cat’s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To give your cat a worming treatment with the “pill popper,” you can use the technique described here<\/a>. Place it on the side of the cat’s mouth, gently insert it into the cat’s mouth, and then press down on the plunger to release the pill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Holding the cat’s mouth closed with the back of your hand after administering the pill, drop the “pill popper” and massage your cat’s throat to encourage swallowing. Be careful to insert the “Pill-Popper” into the cat’s mouth carefully so as not to injure the back of the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlternative 1: The “Pill Popper”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
