To ensure that your cat swallows all of the medication, it is best to mix it into a small amount of canned food that you feed by hand, rather than mixing it into a full bowl of food that the cat may not completely eat.

Be sure to angle the syringe slightly to the side so that the tip of the syringe deposits the medication onto the tongue.You do not want to forcefully inject the liquid straight into the back of the throat. Place the tip of the syringe in the mouth, just behind one of the canine teeth ('fangs'), and advance the tip so that it is in the slight gap between the canine tooth and the pre-molars behind the canine tooth. If your cat is not interested in licking the liquid, gently take the cat by the scruff of the neck and gently pull the head back. First, allow the cat to lick the medication from the tip of the syringe as you slowly depress the plunger (many cats accept medication more readily if it is warmed up as mentioned above). Hold the syringe or dropper containing the medication with your dominant hand.

It may be advisable to restrain the cat by wrapping it in a blanket or towel with only its head exposed. If you are administering the medication by yourself, you may find it easiest to place your cat in your lap. The easiest way to give your cat liquid medication is to mix it in with some canned food.
