Administering Doxycycline Suspension to Your Cat

Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely. The dosage will vary depending on your cat’s weight and the specific condition being treated. Use the provided oral syringe to accurately measure the prescribed amount. Gently lift your cat’s head and place the syringe between their cheek and teeth, avoiding the sharp edges. Slowly dispense the medication to the back of their throat.

Handling a Fussy Feline

Some cats resist medication. If your cat struggles, try mixing a small amount of the suspension with a favorite treat, like wet food or tuna. However, ensure your cat consumes the entire dose. If this doesn’t work, consider asking your vet for advice on alternative administration methods. Always supervise your cat closely after medication administration to ensure they swallow completely.

Storage and Shelf Life

Refrigerate the suspension to maintain its potency. Check the label for the expiration date and discard any remaining medication after that date. Avoid freezing the suspension.
