Roundworm & Tapeworm treatments
Hi,
I'm traumatised, . . . but not half as much as the poor cat! I simply can't do this again. It's not good for either of us. But this is a cat that occasionally gobbles birds, voles, & shrews and he had tapeworm quite a lot as a kitten. The trouble is, now that he's 4 years old he's become strong and strong-mindeded! I do the old trick of getting down on the floor with ankles crossed at the back, cat inbetween the legs, right hand on the head, angle head upwards, and pop pills in with left hand . . . but it is not working like it used to when they were kittens! Tonight while his teeth and tongue were going like the clappers, making sure that tablet didn't go down, he sank a tooth into my finger quite deeply. Is there some knack I've forgotten? Is there some new revolutionary way of attending to tapeworm and roundworm? There's no way I can mix the tablets up with their food. These cats are highly intelligent and their noses are extraordinarily sensitive. They are not to be fooled. I suppose I could take them to the vet and maybe have them injected with something, but that would be traumatic for them too, every three months, as we live about 10 miles from the nearest vet. Any ideas. Now, I'm going to go and thoroughly disinfect this wound on my finger! Eddy. |
