and your done... then you find the pill somewhere else on the floor at another time because she pretended to swallow it and didnt.
+Bo Pro the reason I landed on this video :)
Hahaha yeah
was too distracted by those biceps had to watch video again
def a gun show.
That is hysterically funny. Even my vet has trouble giving my dog a tablet. If my dog sat there like the one in the video, I wouldn't even be looking at videos on how to do it.
Can't agree more
SO TRUE. My dog whips his head around and doesnt want us opening his mouth! 😭
omg you would not believe how much of a fight it has become for me and my dog. I am in tears right now. He has 6 pills he has to take daily. One is so big it has to be cut in 1/4. U make it look so easy.
Yes! I! Would! My dog weighs 10 lbs and turns into a monster.
I know me too! You're not alone, Im having the same struggle. Its so sad & frusterating!
Put it inside a chicken nugget or a peice of food he will eat
I have tried it all. My dog was fine for the past 8 months and now that hes at the end of his life :(, he isnt enticed with food and clenches his jaw sooo tight I cant get the pill in manually.
I’m in the same spot. Dog pushes to tongue to roof of mouth and can’t get past it. Finally got one down today but she spit it up and I have a puddle of saliva and antibiotic bits on kitchen floor. We are on day 4 of 2 a day. By the time I get most down they are 1/3 the size of original pill. So she’s not getting full dose.
He had an easy dog. I wanna see him with my dog. EDIT: it worked!!!! Miracle. You have to try it a few times and do it exactly like the vet and massage the throat and it works
I hope it works this easy whenever I have to do it. My dog is getting increasingly smarter about me giving him pills in his food. :(
This is awesome! Very informative. This guy is really sharp! I may try this pill technique on my great grandmother since she is often reluctant to take her meds and I don't have a dog.
😂
Thank you for demonstrating!
Ten years later, yet super helpful!
Did what you said. It worked great. Has been a real pain. Dog spits out anything disguised with a treat of any sort. Was a chihuahua by the way, but a small pill. Stuck it in the back of her mouth past where her tongue is raised up.
Covering her eyes and stroking her throat gave me an advantage. She could not see the pill coming and did not resist. Stroking the throat stimulated a swallow reflex (I guess). Worked like a charm. No life and death battle this time!
Thank you so much! Finally got my dog to take his heartworm medicine!! 💊 🐶
I LOVED watching him give the dog the pill 🥰🥰🥰🥰
LOL, ME TOO..
I just got my dog yesterday from the animal shelter and he needed to take Trazodone for anxiety. They gave me cat food and told to make 3 ball and give 1 with nothing the 2nd with the pill and the 3rd as a treat. That didn't work then i tried Hot Dogs and that didn't work so i turned on UA-cam and I took your advice and put nee around him and put my hand over his eye and opened his jaws and put the pill in the back of his throat and worked. Thank you very much !
How do I deactivate the spring at the back of the tongue that launches the pill out?
Seriously
Your dobie is so well trained and obedient.
How beautifully she is sitting next to you and taking the medication.
I have a 6 month old doberman
If i try to sit next to him for his medication he gonna bite me and tear me into pieces.
It's always so difficult to give him deworming syrup,he always throws half of the medicine.
😪😪😪😪
Have to try this again. Good video!
Great video. I used the syringe with water to follow the pill and it worked and I have never had much luck giving a dog a pill. Thank you!
Thank you!
A vet by day a avenger by night .......
If only it's that easy. Even my vet has trouble pilling my dog, so it's pretty hopeless for an ordinary person like me.
Thank you, worked perfectly with my dog.
Will try this when I get home. thanks!! My oldie is so stubborn and she needs her pills so bad right now. Pain and chronic UTI. She's slow on eating and trying to hide cephalexin is a nightmare. can't wait to try this though.
Extra note: many pills come in chewable form. Found that out for mine's carprophen. and it actually cost less for the same dosage of meds. as finicky as she can be sometimes she often will take that chewable and not take any other edibles.
...My JRT is very afraid so NOW I'm afraid to touch his mouth, at the beggining of the process was ok, but now HE BITES‼️😳😱And now he knows that we are afraid of his teeth.😔Today he has a stomach issue, I have the pill, but cannot do it like before because he already bite me several times.😩He's suffering and I'm suffering.
This is one cool vet
Thankyou God bless
My dog was attacked yesterday by my neighbors pitbull. He was bitten several times around his neck and is not eating or drinking. I called the vet to find out how I can give him his meds and was told to force it down his throat. It's hard holding his head up because of his neck. Please help anyone as my dog is in a lot of pain. 😭
Nice guns dude and thanks for the pill tip.
I love that breed! :)
Cute and loves animals...love this haha
Take a small piece of slice bread,wrap pill with the piece of bread cover with a litter bit of peanut butter..dogs love the smell of peanut butter And the taste.I try it on my dog and it work.
All these dogs in these sorts of videos open their mouth so easily. My dog's not aggressive at all but she's very good at not opening her mouth. In the beginning I could trick her with food, now she knows exactly when the medicine is in the vicinity. So the only way I got her to actually open the mouth was by inserting some food through the side, where her teeth don't completely shut down. That forced her to chew. Then I quickly insert a hard rubber toy inside her mouth and that gives me enough time to send the pill down the throat. Most days it goes ok. Somedays she can still bring the pill back and starts chewing it out the sides of her mouth, then it just gets messy because it's one of those sort of plasticky pills full of little orbs inside it.
The worst part is, I've had enough dogs in my life and whenever they reach a certain age, all these vet bills and medicine barely put a dent. Still you care for them so you get suckered into believing it'll help more than it really does. This is my last dog. I'll care for her until she dies and then I'm through with this cycle of suffering for a dog ever 10-15 years.
C Handsome...HAHAHA! Now that is silly! I would go with the gel or the pill gun for granny!
And I agree, what a wonderful and informative video! Would you consider showing us the best way to give your pet insulin injections? There are various rumors on the most effective place on your pet to administer the shot. HELP! :)
When a dog is backed into a corner, it usually attacks, lol
Can i crush the Dewormer pill mix it with tuna or meat?? is it as effective??
I have a doberman too and it's not that easy as it looks in this video with my dog. The bugger would just not.open his mouth.. I am having to powder the pill and mix it in water and use a syringe to force it in. And even then some of it just flows outwards from the side of his mouth.. damn! It's a nightmare whenever he gets sick.
I use these Greenies Pill Pockets you can find it at literally any pet store or even at the vet. He loves the Hickory Smoke flavor.
My red setter would have you 4 lunch 😂😂😂
if only it were that easy. My shih tzu will not accept it that easy. Even with 4 hands on deck, one arm and hand holding him around his back into his belly, one hand on his chest, one hand holding the top of his head like here and one hand using a pill gun. He fights like crazy still flinging his head everywhere then once we finally get it in all the way back even we close his mouth hold it shut and stroke his throat for a good 30 seconds then we let go and he spits it out.
Crush the pill and mix it with something he likes. Ex. pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, peanut butter, wet dog food, etc.
or water and then shoot inside his mouth.
@@BenRajan Not every pill is supposed to be crushed though. :-(
@@CynsCorner That's something you need to talk to your vet about. But there's typically a "trick" for every type of medication.
Try that with my Scottie Mr Vet, and you'll be working with one hand afterwards. I tried your suggestion, no luck and I now have only one hand.
Damn. Now I'm questioning if this will even work
Trained dog - if he knows 2 Languages he already knows how to take a pill
He barely opens his mouth and even when he does he bit me and he is weak and only drinks a little water help
Sometimes I put pills in their dog food and cover it up real good and they eat it.
offer fried chicken, they love it, offer a small piece and at the same time introduce the pill on the side of the mouth, try to push back, rob the neck while you offer a bigger piece in front of his nose and introduce as soon as he is almost done with the other one. It works for me with my pitbull.
My dog bites at the pill dispenser and if you put your hand in his mouth yeah he doesn’t want to bite but if he knows the pills coming he’ll bite down hard af
My dog bit the holy hell out of me tonight when I tried that too. He almost went to God. He thinks he's a bad ass He must have a short term memory when mommy gets angry.
My dog clenches down like a vice grip pisses me off what I did is take straw & put the medicine insides & blow it her mouth still a pain in the ass.
Mahalo is such a good and beautiful girl!!
My cat is diabetic, has been for two years, and we feed him raw meat patties we get from petco. We no longer have to give him insulin injections because we cut the carbohydrates from his diet. I had to give him a shot two times a day in between the shoulder blades before that though. Took me awhile to get over the fear of it... but the needles are so thin it didn't hurt him too much.DO a little research and look into a raw food diet! It's cheaper and he's never been at a more stable weight!
i want to be a vet!!!!!
anyone notice how he use dog' lip to cover dog's teeth when open dog's mouth, did not put his bare hand in between dog's teeth.
most video didnt do this and instead put their finger inside dog's mouth. that can be dangerous especially with small dog that they can bite you when they closed their mouth. using dog's lip to cover their teeth before open their mouth like this one make it easier to open dog's mouth as normally any animal wouldnt bite thier own lip so they will open their mouth and this also prevent some dog to closed its mouth and bite your finger
We've tried every trick in the book, but none have worked. Today we used a pill pusher and what happened? Nothing cuz she spit the pill out after a few seconds. This video didn't help us one bit. We're disappointed ☹️
Ha. My 20 lb rescue terrier/doxie/schnauzer mix. She goes insane when I give her a pill..or try to. She bit me, drew blood, bruised my thumb, scratched me and spit out the pill. Then I wedged her into a sofa corner, put a pillow over all for paws. No dice. I got a pill shooter. Nope. And finally I wore a gardening glove and let her bite me while I poked it down. I’m still finding metronidazole pills she gagged up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Did you try this?
What if it's a little chihuahua and a big pill?
+Loui12333 I have the same problem and she has to swallow and not chew it because the vet told me has to digest it in the intestines !
Struggling here🙋🏻♀️
i've done this exactly...the lower jaw bites and does not stay open.
still scared i cant do that
haha "she speaks"
my fuckin dog is giving me resentful looks now.
awww they all do, don't hate him, is like a small kid.
Here’s the bigger question- why aren’t meds liquid so you can syringe them? Sheer stupidity on the part of manufacturers
the pill goes in the far back left corner fyi
My dog is so smart? He will do a great impression is swallowing a pill. He so needs these antibiotics and I just can’t get them into him
Now do this to a cat!
What can I do if he bites???😩
Another method is either get some lunch meat or a pill pocket and wrap the pill and give it to them like a treat. Seems easier than just doing what he did.
doesnt work
can we see that with a little 8 lb. dog please :-( My little dog needs a lot of meds even before food. Its easier doing the direct way with a bigger dog, you have a lot of room to work with. What about that tiny little mouth??? I'm feeling very bad about the regime every morning and night. If she doesn't get her medication effectively she will die
Hot vet
This is vey nice until you’re trying it in your puppy 😂😂😂
Mohamed definitely answered in Japanese...
Good luck with my Min Pin. No chance. Doesn't work at all.
that easy you say? PLEASE..
SHITTTTT
I do that and my dog bites me.
How is she bilingual I did not think they could speak English in the first place
You actually said to back your dog into a corner??! No sir, he has anxiety. I would Never do that to my dog!
All these pill demonstrations are done with big dogs, I haven’t seen a single one with a small breed, and that’s because it’s very hard with a small breed but super easy with a big dog. Thanks for nothing.
GYONJ1988 it's easy with a big dog? Do you know this from experience? Cuz we have a big dog. She spits everything back out. We force it in and she pushes out with her tongue. Larger dogs tend to bite to show their dominance. Our miniture Chihuahua is the only one that takes pills.
christina smith I wasn’t talking about aggressive dogs. I was referring to the big mouth because it’s easier and smaller mouth is way harder. No need to attack me if you have an aggressive dog.
Thank you!
...My JRT is very afraid so NOW I'm afraid to touch his mouth, at the beggining of the process was ok, but now HE BITES‼️😳😱And now he knows that we are afraid of his teeth.😔Today he has a stomach issue, I have the pill, but cannot do it like before because he already bite me several times.😩He's suffering and I'm suffering.
buy a muzzle and introduce the pill on the side wherever you find a space. Once he swallow, compliment with "good boy" and release muzzle.
