Things You'll Need
- Cotton swab or applicator
- Elizabethan collar (optional)
- Medication
Instructions
Flea or Tick Treatment
Hold your cat firmly. She can be sitting, standing or lying, so long as she is still.
Part the fur on the back of her neck so that the skin is exposed in a line.
Place the applicator directly onto the skin, and squeeze until all the medication is out. Avoid getting the medication on her fur.
Wound Treatment
Squeeze a dab of medication onto a cotton swab.
Hold your cat firmly so that he is still. This might be more difficult where a wound is present, because he will be sensitive to it. Fast application is the key.
Part the fur around the wound. Apply the medication directly to the wound.
Place the Elizabethan collar around the cat's neck, if the wound is in a place where he will lick it.
