Never over-restrain a cat!
Too much force makes the cat struggle.
If you engage in a battle of wills, you will lose.If a cat gets over excited, stop and return the cat to his cage. Let him relax a while.
Use the minimum restraint necessary to do the procedure.
Persuade (not force) the cat to cooperate.
Restraint
““Pancake Kitty”Pancake Kitty”e.g. for cephalic vein accesse.g. for cephalic vein access
Access to jugular veinAccess to jugular vein
RestraintLateral
recumbency
Restraint
One-handed hold
RestraintScruff Reflex
Calming effect.
May help to regain control in a challenging situation.
Restraint
The “Kitty Burrito”
Flatten cat on a towel.
Wrap securely.
Enclose front legs.
Allows rear access.
Elizabethan CollarsCan protect against bites.Likely to stress a cat….use only if necessary.Eliz. collar and towel combination...
Cat: Common Procedures
Intravenous injection requires good handling
veins accessible (antebrachial and femoral) are small and fragile, use butterfly (23G) needles
Blood samples from ear or jugular vein
Very young cats (less than10 weeks) and cats less than 2 kg should be fasted for only 1-2
hours.
