Yes, no problem
Yes, but I could use a refresher
No, but I am willing to learn how
No, and I am not willing to learn how
Most foster cats need liquid oral medications (dewormers, antibiotics) at some point. Willingness to give them is required. Liquid oral medications are easier to administer than pills, and we have found that people can easily learn this skill. You can do it!
Can you give fluids, pills, or injections? [it is perfectly okay if you cannot]
