Re: What's the best way to give kitten tablets

Sounds really cruel but I get hubby to keep their mouth open put the tablet right to the back of the tongue and then close their mouth and keep it closed until the swallow it.

This is what the vet told me to do, they even suggested blowing it down their throat with a straw but never had to do this. My cats were never bothered by us doing this and once they had them we give them a treat.

Failing that, ask the vet if there is anyway they can give them the injection. My kitten had cat flu at 12 weeks and they did that as they said he was so little to give tablets.
