Do step 1-4 away from cats sight -- Be ready to give dose fast without anticipation. Entice with treats, catnip, and toys before the dose to establish trust in the unexpected routine.
Before treatment begins, upload available vet lab work and log your cat's current weight and symptoms in the Treatment Dashboard. Send clear symptom videos in your WhatsApp treatment chat so advisors can set the starting baseline and track progress.
Store vials, tablets, or suspension exactly as the label directs. Keep injectable medication in a dark cabinet—never the refrigerator or direct light. Gather assigned supplies; a soft cone, top-loading carrier, towel wrap, and second person can make treatment easier.
After advisors review the current weight and symptoms, check the Treatment Dashboard for the medication and exact dose.
For all care information and guidance, visit the helpful and below. Follow the label and advisor's method for tablets or suspension, and verify the current dose in the Treatment Dashboard.
Give the recommended dose and record the location (if injectable), as you will rotate sites each day. Follow the label, Treatment Dashboard, and your advisor's instructions.
