Administering eye drops to your cat

Transcript of Administering Eye Drops to a Cat

00:00 Speaker 1: Hold the cat, securely in your lap, make sure you have carefully read the label and understand the dosing instructions. Hold the bottle using your thumb and index finger, use the last two fingers of the same hand to pull back the upper eyelid. Place your remaining fingers under the cat's jaw to support the head, the lower eyelid will act as pouch to receive the drops. 00:30 S1: Hold the bottle close to the eye, but ensure you do not touch the eye surface. Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the eyeball aiming for the center of the eye and then, release the head.

Make sure that you wash your hands both before and after administering the medication to prevent the spread of infection.

If you are administering the medication on your own, you may find it easiest to place your cat in your lap. If your cat’s eye is painful, you may need to have someone assist you in restraining your cat by wrapping it in a blanket with only the head exposed.
