Thank you for watching and tell a friend!
that strange moment when you see that the big cats are taking the same medication you are 🤣
It's easier to give these big guys medication than my little guy. Mine spits his out half the time.
WE'LL MAYBE THE MEDICATION, THERE FEEDING TO THE BIG CATS, THE BIG CATS,ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE, THE MEDICINES INSIDE THERE FOODS, ARE REALLY BIG THEY CAN'T SWALLOW THEM, AND THEY LOOK LIKE COW PILLS, AND IF I WERE, ONE OF THE HELPERS AT BIG CATS RESCUE I WOULDN'T, GIVE THE BIG CATS🐯🐯🐯 ANY MEDICINE CAUSE THEY MIGHT SPIT 🐆🐅 IT BACK OUT AGAIN, OR THROW IT BACK UP FROM THERE MOUTHS I KNOW HOW THAT IS WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING BIG THAT I CAN'T SWALLOW, LIKE BIG PILLS, I WOULD SPIT IT BACK OUT AGAIN, THEY WOULD MAKE ME THROW UP 😛👄
@@carriefischer4889 huh..cant swallow ? looked like the big ladys and gentlemens munched down the morsles with it tucked inside rather happely ...its not like uss ,needing to chew things up or small house cats and how ther 'mouthfulls' bairly is enough to hide any medicine inside of ;)
gods remember helping trying to get medicine into ouer housecat... deeply loving sweet heart ,even when being held and gently 'forced' to eat a tablet she dident claw...she dident hiss , she dident spit or bite...but dam are they to smart for ther own good sometimes XD.
....for once you leet her go she walked 10 steps..and spat the pill out ,she simply hade been holding it in her mouth...or try stick tablets in wet food ?...she ate it all , and somehow ALWAYS found and left the tablet alone licked clean but not eaten on the plate ,same with meds that where 'dust' the click 'infected' with it she left... only way that worked was to stick it into 'treats' aka meat or something chunky for her... and yet she still curled up with you and naped on your chest or 'washed' and nuzzled you if you felt down or such afterwards ,no hard feelings...
gods i miss her...... the day the vet basicly said ''sorry but...even with more medicines ,to help with all her age problems she almost become a vegetable for you ,we cant say what you should do ..but..'' ....we hade to leet her go to sleep ,but dam.... it realy showed you how many small ways she brightened ouer lives while being with uss ...so many heart strings that started to bleed despite how we allready been suspecting it would be ther... last ... vet visit.
gota treasure the time one have with the little loving killers of molten night threads!!!
One of my cats ate around the crushed up medicine we put in his food, he was such a little douche.
@carrie - I think some animals (in this case, cats) kinda HAVE to take these meds, if they're going to be healthy, active, & content in their daily existences... not sure I'd deliberately skip their meds, just because they might "spit it up" or vomit. Lol. One could have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics. Another animal could have arthritis or something requiring treatment. Plus they all get multivitamins and minerals probably. So, yeah, probably best to force it down as enjoyable as possible! Animals are a lot more vulnerable to illnesses and infections than humans are, usually, so they've gotta find a way.
I just can't say enough how great you guys do with these animals. I'm sure they know you and are so grateful for you deep down because I sure am. So many people abuse animals it's terrible especially the big cats and I'm so glad you guys are there to take care of them
What huge task every day. All that cutting meat and preparing the medication doses. I’m so humbled by your excellent care.
It's so funny. You have Aria, chuffing. Then Amanda, yelling. And finally the queen herself, Nikita, also yelling. I just love all their different personalities. Thanks BCR for the care you give these sweet babies.
OMG :0 THEY ARE SOOO ADORABLE I WANNA HUG THEEEMM
So much work and responsibility thanks to the loving and dedicated angels of BigCatRescue
4:36 She sits down... huh CUTE
That crunch tho at the beginning
Those eyes at 3:55. Such beautiful creatures.
Sadly, my domestic cat isn't so easily fooled into taking meds. It's as if she always *knows*.
The pills are probably a lot bigger to her, proportionally.
@@stickshiftstarship , I grind them into powder or break them into smaller pieces, but it doesn't make any difference.
Then again, it's a lot easier to give oral syringe meds to a domestic cat than one of these guys.
@@stickshiftstarship Usually, pills for domesticated cats are smaller than those for tigers, lions or other large cats. The dosage for large cats is much larger and thus need bigger pills. It isn’t the size of the pill that’s a problem. It’s that they don’t want to take it regardless if it’s in pill form, powdered form or even liquid form. Even hiding them in pill pockets, pieces of cheese, or mixing them in wet food doesn’t make them want to eat their meds.
@@Counterbalance_ I think it might be the smell? (idk) I think someone I know used to have to hide the pill with cheese, as apparently that'd cover up the smell of the pill. Though you probably shouldn't feed cats cheese as apparently most cats are lactose intolerant.
Thank you for showing us how you do the meds and and then give them to the cats and their snacks you all are so amazing and special thank you Big cat rescue for everything ❤️❤️❤️
Salute for those people's that savings the big cats.👏👏👏
Thanks Bcr teams. 👍
Why would anyone dislike this
Well done!! Thank you so much, dear friends. 😍❤️🐾👍👍👍
Happy Purrrsday BCR.
That was very interesting to watch. And color me shocked that there is a powder form of a medication for them. I wasn't expecting that at all. (nope)
We do that kind of things to horses too (I’m a horse rider) like we make a hole in an apple/ carrot, then put the meds in then give it to them sometimes they will spit it out.
That is very interesting!
Raise a big cat, ha ha ha, very smart
I love Felidae!
Very Good,Well done, it's make me feel good to see that the big cats are takeing care by you,the staff of Big cats rescue.🙏😽💕🌹
Smh big cats take pills better than my house cats ever will, little snobs spit them out no matter how well I try to hide it XD
I don't think any of us can ever fully appreciate the love and care you give these gorgeous cats. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤🐾
Love your channel❤️❤️❤️
Just like the doctor odered! Good job everyone!!!
That was fascinating to see the cats get fed and given meds up close.

Look the tiger in the eyes thanks big cat rescue
Wish my little kitty would take his medication this easy. ❤
Woww... ....very big cat.😀😀😀👍👍😔
Do you spay / neuter the cats?
And what do you do when mating season?.
If medically necessary yes they are spayed/neutered. If they live with a mate, they are spayed and neutered as we do not believe in breeding for life in a cage. Since big cats are solitary by nature most all the cats live alone at the sanctuary and have no opportunity to mate.
Great vid!
Huh so big cats hate their medicine just like my tiny cats
1:57 how my mom cooks when i was playing games
Love these videos! I wonder what type of medication your big cats need?
Many of our cats are over the age of 20. Some are on medications for arthritis (some from being declawed by their former owners), pain management for bone issues due to poor diets by their former owners, high blood pressure meds, allergy medications to name a few.
@@bigcatrescue Thank you for the reply and information. Very interesting!
4:33 Is that Diablo? I don't think I've seen any of the hybrids except Tutt and Loki from an overhead view.
makes me really want to boop the tigers and lion's nose
Cute
Thanks
Wow that stare 6:00 after eating was so scary 😯
Ohh i love this
I love it.
How do they even taste their snacks lol
♥️♥️♥️
❤️❤️❤️
Big Cat Pill Pocket
I am a german that LOVES CATS. but i live in the us
Have you ever had the cat just refuse outright?
How do you know if they really are eating their meds? Do you check when they are finished?
I have 2 cats and a dog. Meds for the cats i force feed (but i dont think that is a good idea with a tiger hihi) and after finding out my dog would just eat arround the meds i force feed him too. Are the big cats so focussed on their food that they dont notice?
And why do some of the cats get a chick with their meds in it? I always tought the cat species dont eat bones like wolf (dog) species do. Is this true?
I love your channel and the videos. And thanks for this one!
Yes we check to be sure they have taken them. It sometimes takes more than one try to get the med in the cat. They are very smart and sometimes spit the pill out or eat around it. The reason some get chicks is they will take it better that way. Big cats in the wild eat whole prey so yes they do eat bones. Raw meat with bones. Not cooked. Cooked meat makes the bones soft and splintery and could cause intestinal issues.
Cute Idk why I'm saying this when they are terrifying
I cannot jus say 😊
you are doing great work. how much quantity of meat is required daily for these big cats ?
Close to 500 pounds of food a day. It costs $10,000/big cat/year for food and vet care.
@@bigcatrescue Do you guys get any help from local or central govt? I guess 10k dollar/cat/year is huge amount.
No we do not get any funding from the government at any level. All of our cat care money comes from donations. We need to raise $3.5-4 million/year to care for the cats.
Joseph está vivo?
What kind of snacks do you mainly feed them?
The eat meat snacks of beef, chicken, turkey, fish and pork.
oh ok
If big cats like egg
What was that thing in the container with legs on it?? Did anybody else see that?
Those are chicks that are used to put medications in for some cats. They have been humanely euthanized and arrive frozen from the supplier.
I wish i can help but i'm just a kid 🙁
You can help by sharing their channel and getting your parents to buy you one of the Big Cat Rescue t-shirts. God bless you for wanting to help.
You can subscribe to the channel and keep watching their videos, too - it helps!! ❤🐾
Pls do video did big cats love ice cream
please...give me subtitle i can hear anything 😕
Do thie big cats ever get fishes? 🤔
Yes some of the cats do like fish.
Why do they need meds?
Many are over the age of 20 and require pain medications for arthritis. Many have been declawed by their former owners which causes pain in their joints. Some get meds for allergies and some for high blood pressure.
Sorry, why Gabapentine for all cat? Is an antidepressive and humor regolator. Do they Need It for captivity? Please let us know!
Gabepentin is for arthritis. It is an anti inflammatory for pain and swelling of arthritis. Many of the cats were declawed by their former owners and have arthritis in their feet/ankles/legs from it. The receive it to make them more comfortable.
how do those chickens get slaughtered
We purchase them from a company and receive them frozen. All of our meat is USDA restaurant grade meat.
Are these mice?
There are chunks of meat and humanely euthanized chicks.
Why are they giving them gabapentine.
Many were declawed and have arthritis. Others are quite old (over 20) and have arthritis in their joints like humans.
Gabapentin is safe (hopefully) and it works great for nerve pain on people and my elderly cats. That's cool it relieves pain in these wild cats also! 🐾
