Cat keepers, a question

[Further]

Chubbs is snuffling and sneezing, sleeping even more than normal, definitely not feeling very good.

Wife called a vet and they told her to give him a few drops of children's Benadrill, all I could find was cherry flavor. Chubbs doesn't like cherry, getting the drops into him is proving difficult

Any suggestions on getting the drops into him or treating the sneezing ?

A google search turned up Benadryl for cats, I'll have to get some. But I doubt that Chubbs will like it, he doesn't even like catnip.

Can't you add the drops to something the cat will want to eat?

I put a few drops on his food. I got scorn heaped upon me. He is a very picky eater for such a fat cat. The only thing other than his normal dry food I've seen him eat is tuna. He ignored cod

Kitty burrito. Wrap him in a towel and make sure his front legs (and CLAWS) are secure. Make sure he doesn't choke on it/aspirate it. Good luck.

And please give Chubs a skritchie for me.

Sometimes a cat will consume something while cleaning a contaminant off of their fur. This is like mix the medicine with butter and put it on their wrist.

I personally wouldn't bother with antihistamine for a cat.

I think was cats you’re supposed to give that rectally

The only way I can get my cat to take anything is if I can mix it into their food.  I've tried giving them pills and it doesn't work out well for either of us.   The kitty burrito that smudge recommended is what my vet suggests, but it's not easy.

Now the cost of Benadrill will probably go up.  They will now need to spend millions trying to explain that the drug was never intended to be administered rectally.  There will be law suits, and more disclaimers about the indented use of the drug.

If it's a small amount, wipe it near his mouth.  Cats hate being dirty, he will lick it off.

I used to give my cat his furball medicine by slathering the paste on his paw.  He loved it.

Have you dropped it onto wet food?  Wet food is usually crack for cats, so needs to be used sparingly!  My dog, who mainly gets dry food (kibble!), needed to take some medicine, and if it went on the dry food, she had nothing to do with it. Open a can of wet food, and she was all over it - medicine or not.

My cat has a super sniffer. If I try to add anything to the food, she'd rather starve than eat. Of course, she'll just go outside and have a decent meal  of wild game.

Maybe we could do some clinical tests on @Kzoo and @jsharr

We give our doggie Maggie her Benadryl pills with a dab of peanut butter using a spoon.
