My cat keeps shaking before getting injection

[Stephen]

What's your cat's behaviour when you take it to the vet and an injection would likely be given? Once my cat sees the injection needle, he will start vibrating non stop even after the injection have been given.

Does this happen to your cat?

 

[Sarah]

Even me as a human will always vibrate whenever I see the syringe. Mine is because of fear and I can say the same thing goes to your cat too.

My dog bite her vet one time when she was about giving her injection. It was a very weird experience but it made me know how my dog doesn't like injections.

It just shows that they are scared of the injection. Even humans shake too in the face of a sharp needle let alone animals.

 

[Ryder]

They are afraid of the injection. I'm also afraid of them too. It's why I don't like going to be hospital or being ill because they will give me an injection.

That's the more reason the veterinarians wear the cats or dogs a cap like that can cover their neck so that they won't have the opportunity or bite you out of pain.

Not everyone loves the sight of a needle to be honest. So it is no surprise that your dog behaves like that. Blood flows in their veins too afterall.

I don't love the sight of a needle too. If I can behave so unexpectedly when the needle is being injected in me, I think pets might do more.

Can you define what you mean by 'behave so unexpectedly'? Does it by any chance include crying?

True. They give me anxiety whenever I see them even when I'm not the one who's getting the injection. I guess it's the same thing for some animals too.

 

[Kennysplash]

They are also allowed to be scared. Seems they felt the pain the first time and they understand the pattern, it happens to humans as well.

Have you seen someone that's shouting, crying and jumping at the sight of needle. I have cried, shout and also hug my nurse so tightly so that I can't feel the needle.

There's anger and annoyance in the way my cats grumble whenever they getting injections. Even when trying to give them treats to take off their mind from the pains, it doesn't work.

It is understandable on their part actually. They have experienced it before and it was a horrible one for them.

 

[Maddox]

Finding something to use to distract your cats whenever they are getting injection is very important. It will help to take their mind away from the pain that is going to happen.

I mean it’s not that easy to distract cats, they are not human babies. There is no way that can be accomplished in my own opinion.

Yes, the mistake we made was just trying to hold him down instead of using a mouth leash too cover the mouth. I felt bad for the vet.

It's a lesson learnt. Well, some cats are not furious when you want to inject them, maybe the vet thought the cat is one of those.
