Thread: How can I give worming tablets?

Wow thanks everyone, quick responses and quite a few different approaches.

With my other (smaller) cats I have favored the method of kneeling, wedging the cat backwards between my knees, preferably wrapped in a large dressing gown. I haven't managed that so well this time. He's not a lap cat so I think that would immediately alert him that something was happening.

I took him to the vets today and was gratified to know that the vet nurse had "a bit of a fight" and enlisted help with getting the pill down him.

Am interested that people are using the "drop on the neck". I have always used that in the past but this vet doesn't feel that it covers all the risks in this area. However Choo Choo doesn't go out in the garden, or mix with other animals other than my dog, so might go back to Advocate or Frontline.

Thanks everyone for the help.
