Surely, those who keep a cat in their house know about how important it is not only to give their pet affection and attention, but also be able to provide medical care and carry out certain procedures themselves.
As is known, in addition to pills or drops, the doctor also prescribes injections. However, to go constantly veterinary clinic to introduce the necessary preparation to the animal, is also not very convenient. Therefore, it will be very useful for the owners to learn how to properly inject a cat into their own hands and learn how to conduct such a procedure, thereby saving time and money for the service provided.
In our master class we will show you how to make a cat prick at home without resorting to the help of a veterinarian. There are two ways to carry out the injection, and how to properly conduct each of them, we now tell you in detail.
For this we need:
- sterile insulin syringe;
- cotton wool;
- alcohol.
How to inject a cat intramuscularly?
- We take a syringe, we type in it a drug, and easily pressing on the piston, we remove air bubbles.
- This method of drug administration is much more effective, however, more painful. If the animal is severely wrenched, you can roll it into a blanket, but if your pet behaves calmly, you can lay it on the floor or bed, fixing it with one hand all the body.
- We take a piece of cotton wool and wet it with alcohol. Before making an intramuscular injection for the cat , we grope the muscle on the thigh, and wipe the place where the needle is inserted.
- Then quickly enter the needle and gradually press the piston against the stop, after which, quickly remove the needle. That's all, now the animal can be let go.
How do I inject a cat subcutaneously?
- This method of injection is almost painless, because it is placed in the low-sensitive area of the withers. You do not need to wrap or hold the animal, just put a bowl with your favorite food in front of the cat, and she will eat quietly while we perform the medical procedure.
- Now, letting out the air from the syringe, with one hand we make a fold of the skin between the shoulder blades, then pull it up, disinfecting the place for the injection is not necessary.
- Holding the syringe parallel to the spine, inserting the needle into the skin, only make sure that the needle does not pierce through the skin, but remains inside.
- Then quickly put the medicine under the skin and just as quickly pull out the needle. Now we can praise our favorite.
