“When dealing with a seizing animal, administering rectal diazepam can be nerve-wrecking. Here’s a simple and easy guide on how to do it safely and effectively.”
1. Ensure the safety of both the animal and yourself. Make sure the animal is in a secure and comfortable position.
2. Lubricate the syringe tip with a water-soluble lubricant or if unable to find anything, a little olive oil/cooking oil would do.
3. Gently insert the syringe into the rectum in an angle of the seizing animal. Ensure the syringe is touching the wall and is not into feces.
4. Administer the drug needed.
5. Hold the animal steady to prevent them from expelling the medication prematurely.
6. Monitor the animal closely to observe the effects of the diazepam and ensure they are calming down.
