If your dog needs to take an oral medication
in pill form then you may want to talk with your vet about the best way to
administer that pill. Some dogs do well with a pill simply placed in the food.
They eat without even noticing that the pill has been hidden there. Others,
however, tend to get suspicious and avoid the pill or spit it out. If this is
your dog then consider hiding the pill in a treat pill pocket. If your dog
still eats around it or spits it out you may also want to try covering the pill
in peanut butter which not only covers the pill but also helps it slide down
the throat smoothly. If these tips still do not work then you may need your vet
to show you how to place the pill on the back your dog’s tongue and gently
massage the jaw to encourage him to swallow. Contact your animal hospital Lexington KY
to learn more.
