Our KCKS has got to take antibiotics for the next week for an iffy tummy/infection probably from eating something slightly toxic.
He has to take tablets and some squirty stuff for the next week. The vet made it look easy when she popped it in his mouth and said we shouldn't have any trouble as he is a docile dog!
My husband and I have just had several goes at trying to give our dog his tablet. Every time our dog somehow manages to store it and then spit it out, despite us stroking his neck like you do with a cat.
In the end I had to crush it and mix it with a teaspoon of his special chicken food to get him to take the tablet. I know this isn't ideal.
Does anyone have any good tips for giving a dog a pill please? Thank you!
