Furbaby Owners......

So - my lovely DH was giving the cat his medicine ysterday (a really gooey liquid) and totally missed...... The medicine is ALL over my cat.... (URRRR.) - NO idea why DH didn't stop when he realized it missed the cats mouth the first time....

Anyone have any ideas on how to clean him off....

You should know - he is very old, and can't see well. I think a bath or trip to the groomers would be WAY too tramatic for him.....

Please help!

Re: Furbaby Owners......

  • Baby wipes?

    Cloth wipes with water?

  • I would just get a wash cloth and get it really damp with warm water and try to get the medicine off by wiping his fur with the washcloth. That is, if he's a calm cat who doesn't mind being held.

    If not then maybe just try the same type of thing but with a towel and wrap him up in it. Then just sort of scrub him a bit.

    HTH!

  • He is a very calm cat and will tolerate quite a bit.

    Tried papertowels last night but got me no where.

    My next thought was also a really wet washcloth..... And maybe some soap....

    I could sort of kill DH for this. The cat is a sticky mess.... UGH.

  • If the wash cloth with water doesn't work, I would wait for it to get hard and cut it out with scissors... cheaper for you than a groomer and hopefully less traumatic for the cat, though still might be pretty traumatic!

    I thought about that too but there is so much of it - I feel like I'll be leaving him bald.... Poor little guy.

  • We did this a couple times when Rocky was on antibiotics - warm washcloth alternating with brushing is the way to go. It may take a few tries/ a few days to get it all, but it will come out.
  • Poor sweetie!! I'd try a warm washcloth.

    I know! and the medication is b/c he's constipated. Doesn't that just make you feel worse for him!?!?!?
