What about showing with an actual sttuborn dog and not the calmest one on earth?
Exactly. That is why I am here
Nothing works with liquid med , ice cream or peanut butter or chicken
NADA
The vet's assistant gave it to me because she couldn't
@@veronicaapolinar1059 I finally managed by putting the medicine inside Ham
Yea like mines I try this on my stubborn dog wasn't so easy
@@veronicaapolinar1059 did u found the way ? I am INE the same situation
My daughter injected the liquid medicine inside several chicken pieces
My dog is on 6 pills is the morning and 4 in the evening. He has sussed every conceivable trick, disguise and manoeuvre it is so stressful but he has to have them to keep him alive. I couldn’t be without him. I just hate putting him through it twice a day. He’s a little trooper.
Hopefully he's doing good 👍
Mine too. I use a shot glass and an eye droppee... let it sit and turn tooqiod, force it down in the side lf his mouth. Takes maybe 20 seconds. Hows your pooch doing?
I feel your pain.
I know this feeling 😔 we’re never ready for them to go. I knew I couldn’t be without mine, and I lost him 17 months ago. I’m still here only because it’s what he would have wanted.
I hope that whatever is happening for you and pooch that it’s ok ❤
If you have a fighter/biter, wrap them in a blanket and cover the eyes. If possible, have someone insert syringe on side of mouth. It has been working for our fighting/biting Chihuahua.
My method is to put 3 pieces of meat or cheese on the counter. Pill goes in last piece. Get the dog excited about the first piece and then finally give it to them. Same with the second. Get them REALLY excited about it. Then give the third piece, which has the pill. Usually by the time you get to the third piece they are so excited they chow it down.
This had always worked with my dog till he started getting nauseated over food. Now literally ANY food he won’t eat till we get an anti-nausea and an appetite stimulant down him.
No way to hide the bitterness of metronidazole!!!!
What's the name of that pills mam
@@dianegibbs3716darn that's one of the pills I have to give my small dog
I hope Penny got plenty of treats after this. 😀 This was extremely helpful. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you Kara. I truly appreciate what you have done for us. Oh, and thank you too Penny.
This is extremely helpful, thank you so much!
Thank you for the brilliant idea...Ms Beautiful... thank you
Thank you so much for this video, my dog is going to be 16 years old this October and needs her pills but all our methods (peanut butter, food, etc.) no longer work for her haha she can clean a plate and leave the pill behind. Been manually putting it down her throat because she's a sweet girl, but none of us enjoy doing it so it has been a struggle. This has been the first video I found with a little dog as well, super appreciate the vid!
Penny is so cute!!!! Been giving my dog 2 different liquid meds post dental surgery. It's so stressful 😭
Very stressful
We're in this situation right now 😭... We need to give 3 meds and she won't take it 💔
Thanks for the ideas. I’m struggling getting my small dog to take a large capsule. He’s a very picky eater so mixing in his food didn’t work.
Thank you 🙏 so much. Our dog been diagnosed stage 2 CHF. heart meds on empty stomach. Super helpful with the detail, explaining and different options. 🐾❤️
EXCELLENT, INFORMATIVE, THOROUGH VIDEO....THANKS SO MIUCH
my landseer newfie ends up biting cephalaxin and then it's all over. getting a pill gun from my vet today. can't wait to try it. My old girl doesn't have a lot of time left but I sure don't want to take her just because I can't get her meds to her. She had 10+ things I have to give her daily and it's catch-22 because her eating habits make it difficult to hide in food. nad "blowing in the nose triggers swallowing", did not know this after 50+ years having dogs. Thanks for showing these great tips.
Poor Penny 😆 thanks for the video!
I had problems pilling my ill dog. She had always been so good when offered it wrapped in a treat. However, when she no longer wanted to eat at the end of her life, I was unable to pill her with method #4 without stressing her out and me out. I'm going to work on this with my other dog and also get a pill gun. 'He already doesn't like pills in a treat or figures it out quickly if it's a bad tasting pill. Thanks for the demo.
I watch these videos for the cute patients. :]
my dog is used to me doing the last method, he doesnt move his head or tries to close his mouth, so it's really easy to put pillls direct on his throat, but in change for him being good i always give some pats and treats lol
Why can't they just make the dam pills nice so they will eat them?
I say the same. Why can’t they make them nice tasting.
FORREAL!
Yay! More Penny!🥰🐶
My dog has gotten beyond taking pills hidden in foods now. It's a big fight at this point. Especially in the mornings. :(
Same situation here. The easiest way for me has been crushing the pill, mixing with apple juice, and feeding the medicine directly into the mouth with a dropper. I don't think all crushed pills are effective. I'm suspecting crushed lasix hasn't been doing its job, but crushed pimobendan works.
I know how you feel it’s horrendous having to force the medication down their throat a piece of me dies every time I have to do it.
Fabulous thanks! Although I have 4 medications need to be done at the same time
. Suggestions? He tries to bite me all the time. Tried the food thing, nope, tried the syringe but now he hates it and looks like cujo. Does not like a hand or anything by his mouth. Clueless what to do?…
Thank you
Right now, my dog is not eating due to her surgery. Forced the pills down her throat to get her to take the pills. Had trouble on her next pill taking so I put pills in some cream cheese and she took pills and even licked my fingers and the cone she has to wear. Hopefully this keeps working
If my dog saw me filling the pill holder- no way would eat it.
Hi, Help please How do I give Cyclosporine to my dog without pill pouch or food? It has to be given on empty stomach?
Penny is so cute! I have a question. I was just given a prefilled dose syringe for my dog with medicine. She is only supposed to receive 1 CC, and I am not sure if I am supposed to dispense directly into her mouth or if I should dispense onto a surface or into some applesauce or something. This has a measurement on the side that clicks into place. Worried it may go too far if dispensed directly.
We use the hotdog method by breaķing a hotdog in 3 pcs putting the wormer for eg in 1 piece i give 1 piece without the wormer next give the piece with the wormer then follow up immediately after the wormer with the 3rd piece and rub their throat easy
I found that giving a dog CBD oil a few minutes before giving the pill, relaxes the dog and helps with giving pill. But I want to try the pill gun.
No, you threaten with "up the butt" in a dramatic announcer voice.😂
Where can I get one of those pill poppers
My poor guy has cancer on one side of his mouth and loves peanut butter but now is getting all these pills out of the PB. We are struggling with getting the pills in him. Any advice would be appreciated.
Read the description. They won't offer you any advice, they avoid saying they believe the information they are providing in the video is good. Unless you meant by other viewers. Then I'm sorry no one ever got back to you.
Want to give my chihuahua dog antibiotics after a major teeth extraction. I mean she was left with 7 on the bottom of mouth. No teeth on top. Post operation... How do I do it without hurting her if the soft peanut butter of soft food does not work? They did not give me a pill popper.
You can purchase a pill popper at most large pet stores and online
What about liquid medication for angry dog
Wrap them in a blanket and cover the eyes, if possible and have someone insert syringe on side of mouth. It has been working for our fighting/biting Chihuahua. He is usually sweet but the medicine brings out another side of him.
@@deedee330 nice 😊
my dog is really calm and well behaved... but when he sniffs a pill, he tightly closes his mouth and when v try to open he growls and it becomes impossible to feed him the pill, i have tried wrapping it in a treat but he just spits it out.. im so worried because he has to take his medication for his condition... any advices?
So how do you give a pill to an ACD?
my dog is ultra sneaky he'll swallow but have the pill under his tongue or in his lip and run away and spit it out somewhere so have to sit there and hold his mouth shut but hell just keep it on his tongue until the pills disintegrate and then he freaks out and spits out the rest of the pill that didnt disintegrate have to do this two times a day for the rest of his life and i feel terrible everytime i do it:[
What if the pill goes into the respiratory area.
They die...that's what happened to my baby. I ended up killing her and didn't even know it. I'm so heart broken.
Good
My dog is pregnant ngmentration Ng Sept I consult my dog is trembling what is problem of my dog
It is easy if u dog not agressive
My dog was agressive and ready to bite if she saw or smell the medicin
What kind of dog is penny?
She looks like a dorgi (daschund/corgi mix). I had one, they are awesome!
@@alphalupin that’s so cool! I found one in Mexico and brought him back to the USA. But I find that they’re usually a mix breed
NO way I got metronidazole down my little terrier mix. She became vicious..drew blood, bruised my thumb clamping down and gagged up every one. I even tried gardening gloves with a pill shooter..I had actually had nightmares before the next day’s 2 pills. finally called the vet and said not doing it!! Pill pockets did not help.
OMG my Pom will not take anything sooo how do you get your dog to take it bc i need help 🤯🤦♀️😂
None of these methods work for my Chihuahua.
I have no money I’m so sad I can’t help my dog I’m just 15.. I think I should give my baby away to someone who loves dog & has money so he can finally get the help he needs. I don’t know what ima do without him, he’s literally the reason I’m still alive. He’s the reason I keep going. I don’t want to give him away because I love him so much and I want him with me, but I know that would be selfish of me💔.
I'm so sorry! :(
They need to make pills that are tasty for animals giving my dog medicine is a pain
Our dog loves these as a treat. However, he just spits the pill out.
name of this dog breed please
Mutt : )
Thank God you had a mask on… whew
Сколько немого ужаса в глазах!
Yeah, I have a Border Collie who is smarter then most people I come into contact with ;-)
Wait…did she just overdose the pupper? 🙈
She's just giving empty gelatin capsules
This dog has really long nails. Should a dog's nails really be this long?
You can always cut your dog nails. So no it do not have to be.
They are long and we are working on it! When we adopted her her nails were overgrown and she has very long quicks, so we can only trim small amounts at a time to keep her quicks moving back. But typically no, the nails should not be that long : )
For this video you didn't need to use a mask.
Take your mask off though its ok
You realize the video is not live right? That it was posted during the height of the pandemic?
Not only in height of pandemic, but working in a veterinarian clinic where they actually do procedures other than "pilling" a dog. The next time you go in for a surgical procedure, be sure to ask every nurse and doctor to remove their masks....
