Grizzly's Growth Diary: Medicine Feeding

Foreword

Giving medicine to dogs is sometimes a problem for many parents. Generally, there are three forms of medicine prescribed by doctors. The first is capsule or tablet, the second is liquid medicine, and the third is small granular powder.

1: Seize the moment

Recently, the weather is very cold, two days in a row did not take the grizzly bear out for a stroll, her mood and mental state is relatively poor, the mood is very unstable. If I feed the medicine rashly when the grizzly bear is in a bad mood, first, the effect of feeding the medicine is definitely not good; second, it is easy to provoke the grizzly bear, which may cause accidental injury to me as a shoveling officer. So, to adjust the mood of the grizzly bear first, the method I chose was to play indoor games with her for a while. After playing games with the grizzly bear for 30 minutes, I felt that her mood was much better. I fed her a snack, and then her mood was more cheerful. This was the best time to feed the medicine.

2: Food mixing method

The grizzly is a particularly sensitive dog, rejecting anything she feels "uncomfortable" with, especially food that doesn't taste good. Outside, even if you go near the trash can, many puppies will pick up food near it. Grizzly bear won't. She will go around far away. Therefore, she is particularly resistant to such "uncomfortable" things as taking medicine. She had been fed the internally driven Bayer tablets with carrots. She chewed up the carrots bit by bit, and finally picked up the carrots that were wrapped with the tablets before she began to eat the other carrots (; ´ `). This time, she learned from the previous experience and succeeded in feeding her medicine.

Firstly, the corresponding medicament is taken out according to the proportion. Say briefly here, this according to the proportion is not only according to the proportion of children, but also related to the dog's own weight; the grizzly bear is about 3 kg, so feed 15 mg of powder granules. Mix the potion with the dog food (you can also consider feeding the dog from a can, but the grizzly bear is in the puppy stage and doesn't plan to feed her a can so early). At this time, you can add a proper amount of warm water to brew, of course, considering the palatability, supplementing with goat milk or nutritional cream is a good way to cover up the smell of the medicine itself. I choose goat's milk, which is better to absorb. Stir with your fingers (clean hands) until the powder is completely dissolved in the goat's milk and dog food.

It should be emphasized that this is a gradual process, not to add too much at a time, and it is best to feed several times. She served the "big meal" to the grizzly bear. She sniffed it warily and ate it with great pleasure.

The whole process of preparing the "big meal", that is, the process of adding the potion to the food, is done with the grizzly bear on her back. If the grizzly bear sees it, she will be more alert (; ´ `). Having a dog who is too smart is also a kind of distress (⊙ o ⊙)! However, it was a great sense of accomplishment to see her clean food bowl.

3: Do a good job in the aftermath

You know, although dogs can't speak, their feelings are as rich as human beings. After feeding the medicine, you must not think that this is OK and turn around and leave. After taking the medicine, the grizzly bear's stomach is rumbling, because the dog's stomach is very fragile, during the action of the medicine, it will be very obvious. After the grizzly bear was "abused", the original heart was uncomfortable, and now the body is not comfortable, the mood will become worse. At this time, it is necessary to comfort the shoveling officials to avoid the depression of the dog owners being inadvertently strengthened. I held the grizzly bear gently in my arms, touched her hair on her head and neck, and fed her some snacks until she was a little sleepy (~ o ~). After ZZ, put her back on her bed. After appeasing her, finish what you want to do alone.

Friendly Reminder from Mommy Grizzly Bear

1: Pay attention to the time of taking medicine.

The time for dogs to take medicine is similar to that for people to take medicine. Pay attention to whether they take it before or after meals. Some medicines should be taken on an empty stomach, while others should be taken after meals. In the case of food mixed with medicine, for the medicine suitable for fasting, we should pay attention to putting less meat in the food mixed with medicine as far as possible, and then do not give the dog anything to eat for a period of time after taking the medicine, so as to play the role of medicine as far as possible.

2: Pay attention to the safety of drug feeding

If it is to feed tablets or capsules of drugs, in addition to crushing them and feeding them with food, there are also many shoveling officials who are accustomed to using syringes to feed them, for which there are specially designed pet feeders. However, attention should be paid to prevent the dog from choking in the process of medication. If you put it directly in the throat and let the dog take the medicine, you should put it in the right place and not accidentally put it in the trachea, which can easily cause the so-called aspiration pneumonia and even the risk of suffocation.
