To give a dog deworming medicine, first of all, of course, prepare the deworming medicine, of course, the dose prescribed by the veterinarian. It is worth noting that gastrointestinal irritation should be reduced without affecting the efficacy of the deworming drug as much as possible. For example, it is best to give deworming medicine to pet dogs two hours after the dog has eaten, because most of the contents in the dog's stomach have been digested by this time, and the stomach is not It is not a state of full load or complete emptying, that is, at this time, the medicine can be better mixed with food and digested. At this time, giving the dog deworming medicine can reduce the frequency of vomiting, and also make the deworming medicine play a role in deworming.
When deworming your dog, if it is a small dog, you can directly open the corner of the dog's mouth and put the tablet into the dog's throat , and then hold the dog's mouth tightly for 10 seconds to allow the dog to swallow the tablet completely. If that doesn't work, you can mix the pills with your dog's daily food, and take the dewormer while he eats.
It should be noted that in the days after the dog has finished taking the deworming medicine, be sure to observe the dog's poop, and sometimes there will be eggs of internal parasites or dead ones. Parasites are excreted together. If the dog continues to excrete parasites, it is best to consult a veterinarian to see if it needs to be consolidated once, and whether it needs to take a deworming medicine after a while.
