Thread: How can I give worming tablets?

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.

Another way to get tour cat to take the pill is go out and get some cat nip! Put some in a toy or on the floor and it will tire him or her out!! Do the same as some have suggested from above with putting your cat in between your legs. And try that way. I have 3 rescued cats and it works great!

Give it a shot!

Hope it works out for you!! Best of luck!!
