How to inject a sphinx cat

Sometimes cats get sick, and there comes a time when you need to inject the Sphynx cat intramuscularly yourself. In this article, we will consider this simple procedure step by step. The main thing is not to be afraid, you will succeed!

1. How to choose a syringe, it is best to take an insulin syringe, where the needle is thinner than usual, it will be easier for the cat to endure this painful procedure.

2. Before the injection, it is necessary to disinfect the intended injection site. Alcohol wipes are considered the best option, if wipes are not available, salicylic acid can be used.

3. When the injection site is decontaminated, you need to put the cat on its side, so that the injection site is under the right hand, fix the front paws with the other free hand, fix the hind legs with the right hand (wrist). The needle is inserted into the muscle about 1 centimeter at an angle of 45 degrees, and then slowly inject the medicine.

After the procedure, give her favorite treat so that after the injection the cat does not have only painful memories.

My advice: the first time it is better to give an injection to a sphinx cat with an assistant (one will hold, and the second will inject). From misunderstanding of sensation, pain sometimes causes panic. The Sphynx cat will react more calmly if you put it on, now there are a lot of clothes in which the back of the body is open, thus it will not interfere with the injection of the Sphynx cat.
