How to give a Transmucosal Medication to your Cat

Transmucosal medications are different from those that need to be swallowed to be effective. Transmucosal medications are effective and absorbed when they are simply in contact with the mucous membranes (gums) of your cat. This typically allows for easier administration, but some cats still can be tricky! Tamara and super-model Cheetos show here how to administer transmucosal medication to your cat.
