Unfortunately, many dogs have parasites. Even those who live in the house. Therefore, it is necessary to give the animals anthelmintics (drugs to combat worms). They usually come in pill form and are given to dogs regularly as a medication or prophylaxis.
It is necessary
Know the weight of the dog, a syringe without a needle, a piece of treat
Instructions
Step 1
Start giving the pill for the treatment and prevention of worms to the puppy at two weeks of age. Glorify adult dogs at the same time. If there are still animals in the house, give them anthelmintic prophylaxis as well. This is necessary so that the puppy does not become infected with parasites from others and that the drug is effective.
Step 2
Check with your veterinarian to find out which tablets are best for your puppy's anthelmintic treatment. Buy the prescribed drug from your veterinary pharmacy after reading the instructions for it. Know the weight to give your puppy the correct amount. Usually one tablet is given per 10 kg of animal weight. Therefore, if the puppy is small, divide the tablet into the required number of parts. To make it more convenient, grind the tablet into powder, separate the desired part and dissolve it in water. Draw liquid into a syringe without a needle. Press down on the sides of the puppy's jaw with two fingers to open the mouth. Pour the liquid from the syringe into your baby's mouth. Close the mouth by lifting the head slightly to allow the puppy to swallow the medication. Many drugs need to be given repeatedly, so remember to repeat the procedure after a certain number of days.
Step 3
To give pills to an adult dog, you also need the advice of a specialist and knowledge of the pet's weight. If the dog is large, you will have to give it several tablets at once. First, let the animal sniff the medicine. Some dogs themselves eat the tablets from the owner's hand. But that rarely happens. It is also unlikely that you will be able to put tablets in a bowl with food. The dog may taste the bitter taste of anthelmintic. Try another method. Take a bite of some treat your pet loves a lot. For example, it can be a piece of minced meat or sausage. Many dogs prefer cheese. Stash the pills in there and offer a treat to your pet. If the dog still refuses to eat it or spits out the medication, try placing the tablets as deep as possible in the throat on the root of the tongue. Squeeze the jaw with your palms and lift the dog's face up. Pat your throat down to swallow faster. After that, give the animal a treat.
