Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and I was wondering if anyone could help me solve my problem… I have a dog who’s name is Elvis and a cat who’s name is Princess! I’ve discovered that Elvis had worms, (is it possible that he got from other pets???) so I want to my vet and he gave him a de-worming medication in a tablet form but he wouldn’t swallow it!! I didn’t want to use too much force so I tried wrapping it with some sausage but he some how figured it out! please help me!! Tami
Hi Tami! about five months ago my dog Angie suffered from worms. my friend told me to buy a de-worming pill and mix it with some chicken but Angie figured it out and only ate a quarter… that happened a couple of times unlit two months ago I’ve found a solution in a form of dry food that my Angie really liked and I didn’t have to force her at all !!! you should try it … Tasties Worm-Out
What kind of worms does Elvis have? The reason why I ask is that worms can be transmitted in different ways. A dog can get tapeworms from eating fleas, and they can also get worms from other animals who have worms.
If Elvis won't swallow the pill on his own, gently open his mouth and reach in, placing the pill on the back of his tongue... then close his month and gently rub his throad...he will swallow it. This is what they do at vet clinics for dogs that won't easily take their meds.
They also sell "pill pockets" and "pill play doh" which you can wrap the pill into and get your pup to eat it.
Dogs are unconditional LOVE!
