How To Give Your Cat Pills & Medications

Administring Liquids to Cats:

To administer liquid medication if the cat will not lick it up: use the same procedure for pilling, but (using a needle-less syringe that you can obtain from your vet) squirt the medicine down its throat instead of dropping the pill.

Cats do not choke on inhaled liquids like humans because they rarely breath through their mouths.

Cats can vomit easily, so keep an eye on them for a while after they've been dosed: it's not impossible that they'll run off to a corner and upchuck the medicine. Giving them a pet treat after dosage may help prevent this.
