Ah itâs okay, we gotta do what we gotta do for our furry family, even if they donât understand why.
You waited until you couldnât, and I think the way you did was as low stress as possible, you didnât pull her out of her cubby.
Youâre looking after her wonderfully, friend. Sheâll forgive you for any spills đ

It was bad though. She had her back to the tiny entrance I was coming in through (and blocking) so was literally cornered and trapped. My fingers and the medicine syringe were probably going near her eyes because I had to do it by touch.
Iâve patted her and apologised, explained how I had waited a while to try and avoid doing that, but the longer she went without the worse she would have felt⌠but I knew it was traumatic and Iâd try to avoid doing that again. She seems to have settled.

Hm idk I still think the way you did it was better than pulling her out, but also you know her better than I do, so maybe if shes in there again you can pull her out and see which reaction indicates less stress.
You are doing great, donât doubt yourself. đ

I would have lured her out with food but she was entrenched and hasnât been big on wet food (and only mildly enthusiastic with treats)
