Thank you, that’s really good advice!

So usually I would pick her up and set her on my lap on a large cushion while on the sofa and medicate there. Perhaps you are right and maybe the whole sofa and pillow are not making her feel secure! I tried floor medicating today and it actually went better, she was able to move away for a quick break couple times and fully swallow everything which is good considering it’s 4 syringes of meds! Usually by the 3rd she’s becoming very reluctant to swallow. I think that in itself made it less stressful and being study definitely helped! The only problem was there was still a lot stress from the chase as I usually use a blanket drop and scoop method but this time went straight for the ‘sit’.

So I think I will try a best of both world approach, blanket drop and scoop to eliminate the chase but rather than take her high up I will simply move her to the lounge (she’s familiar with the lounge but doesn’t voluntarily use the sofa) then do floor meds there where she can’t escape back into hides part way through.

Thanks 🙂
