We've also prepped the syringe and just sat next to the sound asleep cat and 'scruff, pry, squirt' . . . it's over before he was even awake. He probably thought it was a bad dream. lol I only know it works for our cat . . . figured it might work for others.
Yeah, a set schedule for antibiotics . . . that might have been when we would find him when he was sleeping. Talk about surprised. Meow!
