How to Administer Capstar to Cats

    Giving Capstar in Food

    • 1). Place a small amount of food in your cat's dish at his regular feeding time.

    • 2). Mix a Capstar tablet into the food and mix it up to completely hide the pill.

    • 3). Watch the cat carefully to ensure that she eats the tablet rather than spitting it out.

    Giving Capstar Orally

    • 1). Have a helper hold the cat firmly.

    • 2). Hold the cat's head firmly and tilt it back. The cat will most likely drop his lower jaw. If not, use your middle finger to pry open the lower jaw.

    • 3). Continue to hold the lower jaw down with your middle finger and use your thumb and finger to push the pill as far back on the tongue as possible.

    • 4). Close the cat's mouth and stroke his neck firmly to encourage swallowing.

    • 5). Check the cat's mouth to ensure the pill was swallowed before you release him.
