feeding tablets

[tachia]

Pleeeeease does anyone have any great tricks, ideas or just suggestions on how they feed their little 4 legged kids tablets? I am having huuuge trouble getting any tablets into Bailey ... I have tried disguising them in treats, bribing, and have even resorted to just putting them in the back of her throat only to have on all occassions end up back on the floor!! ... She will even eat the entire treat and will leave the most minutest amount of it which of course contains the tablet! ... very clever little bullie my Bailey! Her mummy got very fustrated with her yesterday and told her off!! ... but she just stood her stubborn bulldog ground

for us peanut butter on a spoon with whatever pill mixed in works or the big ones work well for us with american cheese wrapped around and smooshed onto the pill. They will have to eat the pill to eat the cheese. Good luck!

Yep, I use the American cheese. Do they have american cheese in new Zealand tachia?

 

[tachia]

I havent heard of it ... is it just a standard block cheese?

 

[bullmama]

I figured you wouldn't. It is processed gooey typical american food. Not even sure if its really cheese to be honest!

It usually comes in prewrapped slices. I admit I love it. I use Borden, but the most common is made by Kraft. No, I don't think I have ever seen american cheese in a block before....

Here is a photo of american cheese:

Yip we have that ... and I only bought some yesterday cos the 2 legged kids just demolish it! we call it cheese singles .. I'm off to give it a go!!

 

[cali~jenn]

Hope it works for you! I have heard of many using hot dogs also but havent had to myself. hat is funny, of couse they wouldnt call it american cheese huh? Didnt realize you were in New Zealand, sorry.

Now we can ask tachia if she has ever had a peannut butter and jelly sandwich. Or maybe a Twinkie?

Vegas gets potassium bromide in liquid form plus phenobarb and an acid reducer in tablet form. He swallows all of this in one gulp. I take one slice of singles cheese and break off the very end for Orion's acid reducer, then the remaining piece I divide in half. I take 1/4 of a slice of bread. I put the tablets on the bread, pour the potassium bromide on the bread, put the other half of the cheese on top and he opens up and swallow it down. Hey, I'm gonna make you a video! (my bullies are pigs and will swallow anything without pausing to investigate what it is)

I use American cheese too. I found thats the easily because its sticky and it forms around a pill. So like Cali~Jen said, they got eat the pill if they want the cheese!

Libra that is an awesome was to sneak the liquid medicine in there! Never would have thought of that!

You can also try pill pockets they have them for tablets and capsules also comes in chicken or beef flavors.
You can buy them at Pets Mart. Hope this helps.

Libra, you didn't show them eatting it

Libra, you didn't show them eatting it

Actually, I didn't feed it to them because I made the video just for that purpose. If I would have given it to him, it would have been a double dose. Although, I did give them the cheese, I just threw away the pills and the bread.

**I think that is the last video ever to be made with the pink camera. It now will not register the media card. I have to either buy a new camera or get it fixed before Friday** ~~~~~~~babies~~~~~~~~

I've only had my 5 yr old bullie girl for a month and she's been on skin antibiotics and benedryl pretty much the entire time. i tried peanut butter--i've heard how all EB's love it--well she doesn't and bc of her food allergy I am very limited on what i can give her---i wrap it in yello cheese--its the only thing that works--i will prob see if they make the can food and try that instead since it would be healthier for her

the gang loves peanut butter...I just wrap some around their meds and it works great for them

Saturday at 10:36am ·


cheese definitely works but my pooches like all foods so sometimes I put it in a hunk of beef... or chicken... but cheese is definitely my first choice.... LOL!

I hide the pills in a tablespoon of plain yougurt on top of her dry food. The yougurt also helps with digestion and the control of gas! She just licks up the yougurt and then digs into the food.

My Otto eats mashed potatoes and hamburger meat because of his skin issues. If he has to have medicine I just hide it in a spoon of food and feed it to him

i just put it in a "pill pocket". its a meaty ball and u place the pill inside so it tricks the dog into taking it

Canine cookies: 2 c flour, 1 c shredded cheese, 1 c creamy peanut butter, 1/2 c Crisco..roll in balls, bake 400 for10 minutes..push pills into cookie while warm..store in zip lock baggies..keep refrigerated - put the ones with pills in them separate and marked..Bailey will be scratching the fridge door asking for them..

Saturday at 11:12am · Otis took the "Pill Pockets" like a champ, until one day he saw me hiding the pill in it...when I tossed it up in the air, he just let it hit his nose and walked off...hello, they ARE NOT STUPID!!! So what hubby does is get him in an "eating frenzy" and fold a piece of cheese around the pill and slip in in between bites of just cheese...works for ... him, but for me, now I just poke it down ihis throat and hold his mouth together and say eat it until he does..but watch to make sure he doesn't walk off and spit it out...lol...then he is ticked off at me for a while...

I use pill pockets for spikes medicine. But sometimes I just put it in his mouth and hold it till he swallows it. I don't have a hard time at all

Ha ha, Carol, Dempsey caught me too. He also figured out the cheese trick. Fortunately, I haven't had to give him meds in a while. I will need a new trick the next time.
