How to Give Pets Oral Medication
- 1). Give your pet a treat without medication to whet his or her appetite.
- 2). Consider the following for dog treats: a bite-size portion of hot dog, cheese or peanut butter.
- 3). Offer cats a clump of butter; give horses grain with molasses.
- 4). Use the same treat to disguise the pill.
- 5). Break the pill into small pieces if necessary, and wrap entirely inside the hot dog, cheese, peanut butter or clump of butter.
- 6). Grind up the pill for horses, and add to the grain with plenty of molasses to hold the mix together.
- 7). Be sure the treat is large enough to cover the pill or pieces of pill, but not so large that your pet will chew, discover the medicine and spit it out.
