Make sure that you wash your hands both before and after administering the medication to prevent the spread of infection.

If you are administering the medication on your own, you may find it easiest to place your cat in your lap. If your cat’s eye is painful, you may need to have someone assist you in restraining your cat by wrapping it in a blanket with only the head exposed.
