Medicine Administration

---

Cats who are under veterinary care, acutely ill, or require specialized attention are considered special needs. Those kitties include those that have developed medical issues such as diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid conditions, or urinary issues / chronic kidney disease, as well as those recovering from surgery.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your cat’s health needs?  That is perfectly normal. Taking a caregiver break will help you rest and regain balance, so you can continue to provide the special care your cat needs.

Caring for a special needs cat can be exhausting, in addition to the changes you might need to make to your life and work schedule in order to accommodate your kitty’s needs.

At NYC Cat Care Specialists, we can help by providing medical care for your cat.

Like you, we want your kitty to be happy and healthy!

We are skilled to administer medicine that are introduced into the body by several routes:

• Taken by mouth (orally)
• Given by injection beneath the skin (subcutaneously)
• Placed under the tongue (sublingually) or between the gums and cheek (buccally)
• Placed in the eye (by the ocular route) or the ear (by the otic route)
• Sprayed into the nose and absorbed through the nasal membranes (nasally)
• Breathed into the lungs, usually through the mouth (by inhalation) or mouth and nose (by nebulization)
• Applied to the skin (cutaneously) for a local (topical) or bodywide (systemic) effect
• Delivered through the skin by a patch (transdermally) for a systemic effect

NYC Cat Care Specialists has experience administering all forms of medications and treatments. We keep exacting records for all cats with medical needs and take notice to all signs of illness and pain.

We will team up with you and your veterinarian and act quickly if your cat's health declines, so we can provide your cat with the best health care she / he deserves.
