Applying spot-on treatments
Reading about various treatments in another recent thread prompts me to ask how critical the application of back-of-the-neck spot on treatments is.
My cat runs a mile if she so much as sees me with the vial, so I usually have to creep up behind her when she's dozing, then "dig and squeeze" in one rapid action. ![]() However, the instructions say to apply directly to the skin, which in my case would involve holding a squirming cat with one hand while applying with the other. Is my method going to be effective? |

I pretty much do the same to my cat - luckily she's quite small so I can pick her up in one hand and 'dig in and squeeze' with the other. The drops do need to be in contact with the skin but I can't think of any other way to do it more efficiently.
Shame the drops are obviously very annoying to the cat though.

We do it with the dog. As soon as he sees the phial he runs under the table so we coax him out with a treat. Takes two of us, one to hold him and one to ruffle the fur backwards and apply it. Needs to really go on to the skin rather than the fur. Get someone to help you.
