How NOT to worm your dog
We love dogs and have seven of them. Yesterday I went to the vet and got wormer for them. It comes in a medicine bottle and looks like milk of magnesia. The vet told me to give them 6 cc once a day for 3 days. No problem, I thought. Wrong!
Evidently the wormer medicine tastes bad. None of the dogs like it. Sam (a loveable dog adopted from the Humane Society) refused to open his mouth. Finally he did just long enough for me to get half the medicine in his mouth. I decided it would be easier if I put the worm medicine in something that Sam liked to eat, so I went and got a hot dog. I took a fork and poked a hole in the end of the hotdog. Then I stuck the syringe in and pushed.
You may not be able to tell but worm medicine went all over the coffee pot, the counter and refrigerator.
I wonder if our coffee will have a different taste tomorrow? Maybe I’ve invented a new creamer…ya think?
It’s a nightmare to worm my cats. I see that it’s a nightmare to worm dogs too :-(. I haven’t had to worm our dog yet…she’s been lucky enough not to have these parasites. What about trying the pills (if the med comes in this form)? That is what I went to after trying the liquid on the cats. It worked better…but had to have another person holding the cat while I tossed it in the back of their throats. Amazon sells these gadgets that is like a syringe to get the pills into animals…but I still think it would take two people to do the unliked task :-(.
