Giving a Puppy Medicine

Puppies need to be watched at all times. The environment he’s in, the food he eats, and social factors affect him in many different ways. And another important factor is that he could become ill, with an ilness that befalls puppies. When you decide to identify a problem, make sure you contact your vet because they will know what to do.

Dogs cant talk and tell you hoe they fell so you need to look out for symptoms like diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, vomiting, lethargy, loss of or no appetite, pain, and a fever. And you should contact your vet to look at the dog. Make sure they have all their vaccinations and they are up to date. And keep him away from other dogs because they might be sick and the owners are unaware of it. After you visit the vet and decide on a plan to treat it the vet may prescribe some medicine to help the animal feel better. There is more than one way to get a dog to take medicine whether it’s a tablet or liquid. Some dogs might try to spit out the medicine. You could keep trying and if that still doesn’t work you could call the vet to for another solution.

If it’s a liquid medicine, sometimes dogs will lick it off the spoon or out of an eye dropper, or you could mix it up in their food. If the dog won’t cooperate you could pull aide of his mouth up and shoot the medicine to the back of the mouth and that will help get them to swallow it. The same goes for giving the dog tablets. A lot of people hide the tablet in a piece of the dog’s food. Some dogs will even eat it right out of your hand. If the dog won’t take it place it as far back on the dogs tongue as possible. And the animal should never get hurt from taking medicine.
