Many pet owners dread these words, ?Give your cat one of these pills twice a day.? Any pet owner knows the frustration of forcing a pill down the throat of a cat who does not feel well and who is not a willing participant. Before you don your protective armour to medicate your cat, try these easy tricks to get your kitty to take medicine.
Pet owners can agree that giving a cat medicine is not their favourite job in the world. Many times, you end up with bite marks or bleeding from little claws. There are some easy ways to medicate your cat that will help you administer the medication. Giving your cat medicine properly can also help reduce stress in your cat.
If you are giving your cat a pill, there are a few tricks to remember. Following these simple and easy tips will help make medicine time for you and your cat a breeze.
Oral Pills and Drops: The first thing to do is to follow your vet's instructions. Most oral medications should be given with food or water. Make sure that your kitty has access to both of these immediately following. The next thing to remember is that a cat that is not stressed will be easier to medicate. Try to give your cat his or her medicine when he or she is relaxed. Do not make medicine time a chasing game. If your cat knows what is coming, he or she is likely to run or hide. Comfort your kitty by giving loving pats and by sitting in a quiet room. If you have to do it alone, cradle your cat under one arm and take the other hand and gently press the sides of your cat's mouth with your thumb and forefinger. Make sure your cat's head is tilted up slightly. Drop the pill into the back of the mouth and promptly shut your cat's mouth. You must remember to hold your cat's mouth closed until the pill is swallowed. Be very careful not to block your cat's nose when doing this. Sometimes a cat will throw pills up after being medicated. If you find a soggy pill on the floor, it will be necessary to give your cat another pill.
Oral drops are often much easier to give your cat than pills. If your cat requires antibiotics request that your cat is prescribed the drops instead of the pill form. Most cats like the flavour of drops. Vitamins and antibiotics can both be given in liquid form. When you are giving your cat liquid medication, it is very important to use the dropper given with the prescription. This ensures that the proper dosage is given. You will need to give your cat the medicine in much the same way as the pills. Hold your cat under one arm and open the mouth with one finger on each side of the mouth. As soon as you put the drops in, close the mouth and hold shut until the cat swallows.
Some pills can be given inside of food such as canned food or hidden inside a piece of meat. It is not recommended to give cats their medication in their water because if they do not drink all of the water, then they are not getting the proper dosage. Also, pills can make the water taste strange to the cat and could lead to dehydration. Another tip is to crush a pill into smaller pieces and mix with meat flavoured baby food or tuna. Most cats will eat this and not even notice they are getting medicine.
Injections: If you cat requires daily injections of medication at home, such as insulin, it is very important to follow a schedule. Cats with diabetes usually need two injections twelve hours a part. When giving your cat insulin, remember to not shake the vial. Roll the vial in your hands very gently to mix. When you are ready to give your cat the injection, place your cat on a comfortable surface and have your cat lie down. Gently pull the skin up at the back of the neck. This is the perfect place for injections because cats usually are not bothered by the shot. Insulin needles are very thin so you will not need to push the syringe in very far. After giving your cat injections a few times, it will become easier on you and your cat.
Easy Tricks To Do
Of all the home based business opportunities that you will find on the internet it's not that often, if at all, that you'll come across one where you can start making money without having your own product to sell, or without having your own website, or even without having any contacts or doing any marketing whatsoever.
But there is, and for the un-initiated it's called Joint Venture Brokering.
In more simple terms and cutting through the fancy name Joint Venture Brokering is essentially where you find a product on a site and match that product with experienced marketers who will, and in most cases actually want, to sell the product, making you money from the “brokering” of the sale.
To be a successful Broker you will need to follow some basic tricks which I have outlined for you as follows:-
Trick One: First off, just kick back, relax and make a list of all your favourite hobbies, pastimes, interests and passions. Ask yourself:
·What are you interested in?
·What are you passionate about?
·What subject or topic do you have a lot of knowledge about?
·What do people ask your advice on?
You may be worried that you do not have any specialist knowledge but you need to stop and think of your life experiences. List the jobs you have done and the hobbies you have pursued or the volunteer work you may have done, all the subjects you have some interest in.
This way you will not only make money online with your brokering business but you'll enjoy working on it too!
Trick Two: From your lists in Trick One, you now need to find the websites that cover your interests etc. You then drill down these sites to find a niche market that you can broker for. For example, you may be passionate about Sports, for which there are plenty of websites. But you need to dig a little deeper and find out what exact sport niche you want to get into. You may have a particular interest, in golf for example, so this is the market you would search for suitable products to broker for.
Trick Three: Next, by using search engines and Directories find a web site that has a two-tier affiliate program for the product you are looking to broker. A two-tier affiliate programme has the first tier of commission the same as in a regular affiliate program. The difference is the additional tier(s), whereby marketers also earn a commission on sales generated by people they referred to the program. A best two-tier program will be one that:
·Offers better than $10 commission per second tier sale.
·Provides the marketer with ready to go marketing materials like email promotions, articles, adverts, banners etc.
·Has cookie tracking system for their affiliate program, which means that even if the marketers you try to broker deals with don't sign up on the day you contact them, but sign up months later, you will still get the credit for the sales they make months down the line.
(This is for the product you will be brokering)
Trick Four: Is to build up a list of website domain names related to the products in your niche market saving the list where you can easily locate it.
These are potential site owners that you will be able to approach and broker a deal with. These are your marketers.
Trick Five: Using the Google search engine type in “(your niche market) ezine” to find thousands of sites, in your niche market that have ready-made email lists to promote to. These will be sites that publish, or are linking to another site that publishes, an ezine in your niche market.
These are your marketers.
Trick Six: Start going through your lists from tricks four and five and emailing the website owner or ezine publisher/owner trying to broker deals getting them to promote the site you are brokering for. This trick in itself would take you months to broker all the deals available, yet each and every deal could be worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars to you.
Trick Seven: You have now learned THE trick of making money on the internet without having your own product to sell, or without having your own website, or even without having any contacts or doing any marketing whatsoever.
Enjoy your newfound wealth and income streams and all the freedom that comes with them!
