ADMINISTERING MEDICINES AKA SPOT TREATMENT (AS PRESCRIBED) TO COMMUNITY ANIMALS.
1.Crush the pill OR empty the capsule OR syrup as per the prescribed quantity.
2.Roll it up in a slice of cheese, boiled meat, egg or wet pedigree. Each dog’s taste is different so you’ll need to work through figuring it out. Wet pedigree has worked for me most times.
3.Give it separately, do not mix with food as the dog might not consume it and the medicine will go waste or another dog might end up eating it.
4.Wait until the dog finishes the medicine.
5.Leave some water behind.
6.For external application, always ensure the dog is muzzled unless you’re comfortable without it. Always use gloves as well.
7.Dogs do not like the sound of spray cans so almost all the time, you’ll see them running away. If that is the case, talk to your vet about alternatives.
8.Always click pictures to compare progress before and after the treatment.
9.Spot treatment is an effective and economical method to treat cases that need help. Almost 60% of them can be spot treated however it takes effort, commitment and dedication.
10.At times you may not find the dog in the same spot at the same time. Keep checking in different slots and you will eventually find the dog.
11.Identify the dogs different spots and make note so you can check there too.
12.Always administer medication ONLY under professional advice and guidance.
