Most dogs don’t like medication in pill form. You can try crushing the tablet and mixing it with some canned food or chopped meat. Just make sure he eats all of the meat to get a complete dosage. A pill gun has rubber fingers to hold the pill and a plunger on the other to push the pill from the gun into your dog’s throat. Hold your dog’s chin up and open his mouth with your fingers. Quickly insert the gun behind the tongue and release the pill. Keep your dog’s chin up and rub his throat until you are sure he has swallowed the pill. Some manufacturers have created really yummy treats with a pocket to put a pill in. Just pinch the pocket closed with the pill inside and feed it to your pet. Watch that he eats the whole treat, pill and all. Contact your Vet Greensboro, NC to learn more. |
