How To Administer Medication To Your Dog


Below are 3 ways in which you can administer your dog medication. As with anything your pet would rather avoid, be patient, gentle, and firm - and follow with praise. If you're having trouble medicating your dog, talk to your veterinarian about alternatives.

1. Liquid medication: Ask your veterinarian for some large syringes, with the needles removed. These are marked on the sides to make measuring easy, and they're easier, too, at getting liquid medicine in the right place. Raise your dog's muzzle and lift her lip on one side. Ease the tip of the syringe to the back of the throat and then release the liquid in a slow, steady stream.

2. Ear medication: Lay a large towel across your lap and coax your dog to put her head on top of it with gentle massage and encouragement. Apply ear drops, massaging the base of the ear gently.

3. Eye medication: Have your pet sit between your legs and hold her muzzle up from behind. Gently apply a line of medication from the tube across the length of the eye, being careful not to touch the surface. Try to hit drops squarely in the center. Close the lid for a couple of seconds to let the medication distribute evenly.
