ペットバケツブログ 4 Tips on How to Give your Cat Eye Drops  2014年6月25日、ダニエルさんより。| 1コメント Giving cats eye drops is most people’s idea of a nightmare. Our feline friends aren’t generally keen on being restrained, having their eyes prodded and something wet put close. What normally ensures is a squirming, clawing wrestling session, with kitty running away and hiding and the tube of ointment sprayed everywhere, with not a drop in your pet’s eyes.    イメージクレジット  All is not lost! We at Petbucket have some great suggestions to help you treat your cat’s eyes, beginning with:   1. Position Your Cat Correctly   The first step to successfully getting eye drops in your cat’s eye is to hold them so they can’t scamper away when they see the ointment coming – or dig their claws into your flesh!   It is best to put the cat on a table (or your lap if you trust them to keep their claws sheathed), wrapping your arm around their body to keep them still.   イメージクレジット タオルで彼または彼女を抱きしめることは、あなたが恐ろしいドロッパーをより近くに動かす間、それらを安全に保ち、傷を防ぐのにも良い方法です。   Make sure the space behind your cat is blocked so they cannot back out and flee that way.   If you can get someone else to help you hold your cat, especially at first, this can also make the process easier.     2. Correct Eye Drop Technique   Image source  With one hand, hold your cat’s head from under the jaw and use your thumb to push up towards the eye. This will create a little pouch in the lower eyelid, which can be seen above. Being careful not to touch your cat’s eye, place the tip of the applicator just above the bottom lid. Then squeeze the dropper quickly and gently (so it doesn’t squirt too much ointment). Your cat will blink, distributing the drop over the eye.   Once you are finished do not let go of your cat immediately. If you do it is likely they will immediately paw at their eyes, disturbing the liquid you just dropped in, meaning you have to begin again.   3. Use Rewards   イメージクレジット Your cat is not going to love getting eye drops, but you can make it less than awful by praising your cat throughout the experience and giving them a treat at the end. If they associate the dropper with some positives that balance the negatives, they may not be so unwilling when they see you coming to give them their medication.   4. Have Patience   点眼薬の場合は、最初の数回の検査が円滑に進まないことを期待しないでください。それはあなたの猫のための神経を壊している経験であり、所有者が猫をつかんですぐにドロッパーを操作することは難しいかもしれません。しかし、目の雫が処方されているかのように、あなたの猫の健康にとって重要であるように、あなたが持続することが重要です。    Feature Image credit コメント1 Prottoy25 Feb 2018Reply Are eye drops likely to cause nasal congestion in cats?
