how to transfer oral cat meds from two different syringes?

Hi there! Transferring oral cat meds from two different syringes can seem a little tricky, but with a bit of care, it's definitely manageable. It sounds like you're trying to either combine doses or ensure your cat receives the full dosage. Here’s how you can do it safely:



First, make sure your hands are clean and you're working on a clean surface. Carefully remove the plunger from the empty syringe without spilling any liquid, and then slowly pour the contents from the first syringe into the barrel. Once that’s done, replace the plunger gently to avoid creating bubbles. Then, do the same with the second syringe if you're combining meds. Be sure to only combine medications if your vet advises it's safe to do so.



It’s important to never force the plunger or medicate your cat in a hurry, as this can cause stress or injury. If there’s leftover liquid in the syringe, try dispensing it slowly and smoothly.



Keep an eye on your cat after giving meds. If they show signs like excessive drooling, vomiting, or reluctance to eat, those could indicate a reaction or an issue with the medication. In that case, a veterinarian visit is a good idea.
