A cut, fuzzy doodle-dog is not a toy. Although Riley wanted to meet the “stranger”, he did DEFINITELY not wish to be embraced (watch the video again!) In fact, even you know a dig well, most prefer NOT to be hugged.
I just started giving my cat injections. Some of this is rather unrealistic. Cats generally eat at their own pace. There is really no way you can guarantee a cat is going to eat a "full meal" right before an injection. And calling your vet office every single the cat doesn't eat a full meal? You must be joking. Can barely get a vet to respond for an emergency let alone something like that. Also, you really need a docile cat to do injections. I have 3, and luckily the one who needs them is very docile but I'd never be able to do this with my other 2.
That did not work. She just didn’t swallow or move until I let got and she spit it out.. if I hide it in food 8/10 times she finds it and spits it out.. idk what to do
We have been going to Union Lake for years. When we moved to Oxford, we still travel to use all the facilities. Our new pup has anxiety issues and all of the staff has participated in getting her comfortable. I can't recommend them enough. ❤❤

You girls are GORGEOUS and nice. You can get a dog or a MAN to do anything! :) My rescue dog won't eat cheese, ice cream, peanut butter, pill pockets, or any other sort of food inducement I've tried. He eats ONLY rice and chicken CHUNKS, so NO mixing the pill in with his regular food. Those pill shooters DO NOT WORK as exhibited!!!! Easy enough to lOAD a pill, however, when the plunger is DEPRESSED, nothing happens! The pills DO NOT MOVE. I've suggested those be pulled from the market as being fraudulent. For the moment, I'm crushing his Doxycycline pills, mixing in a tiny amount of water, sucking that up into an "eye dropper" used for dispensing liquid meds to babies/toddlers, prying open his mouth, shooting squirts of this down, until its all gone. There has GOT to be something that REALLY WORKS for ALL DOGS.
Thank you for this helpful video. I will be using these techniques to try to keep our 13 y/o golden/shepherd mix mobile. Incidentally, your dog's penmanship is much better than mine.
I used to use to these tricks to give my dog her tablets, then I started giving her favourite treat of a biscuit after stuffing a tablet into the back of her mouth as shown first in this video, it didn't take her long (less than a week) to realise what was going on and then she would very willingly quickly swallow her tablet when presented to her on my palm so that she could get her treat more quickly.
I suppose this can be done with an ampule of normal saline and a syringe. I have the Bat Lady in mind. Bat 🦇 Lady usually gives glucose and normal saline though. The Bats are usually dehydrated and in shock. Sugar apparently helps calm a shocked brain.
Mine used to eat the pills covered cheese. She now knows the cheese covers the pills and won't eat it. I don't want to shove it down her throat. I did it once, she is so depressed from it. I don't know what to do. She needs her heart medicines. :(
"You're just going to open up his top jaw, force it down his throat, and then you want to hold his mouth closed." Now, about that "force it down his throat" part. I've shown this video to my dog several times and she still doesn't understand that her job is to let me do that.
that is what i was shown during the demo at my vet but i’m having such a hard time doing it. my boy starts to growl and wiggle when i just grab the skin and get it ready. he struggles during the injection and i’m barely able to get the needle in as is. i don’t know how to make it easier for him and i’m scared i’m doing it wrong.
This video is amazing!! Love the explanation and the chalk board with the dog paw writing!!!! And the way you explained it - my favorite video out of all the ones I have watched!! I am a subscriber as of today!!! 😊😊😊
Very cute but don't use the tip of your index (pretty much the dirtiest place on hands) on the rubber where u stab several times with a needle to extract that sweet sweet insuline.
Try these pill pockets--they seem to work well: liverwurst, marshmallow, and cheese. Be aware that liquids aren’t all that easy either, and the volume that would be needed for large dogs would be absurd. We hope that helps. There is no "easy" with getting some dogs to swallow pills.
I'd love it if someone would create a video helping us give a pill to a dog in the real world where it is never ever this easy. These kinds of videos drive me crazy because it's never this easy. I also wish all vets just give liquid medications all the time. Because in the real world, pills are almost impossible.
Hi my cat was just diagnosed with diabetes he was overweight and lost alot and the vet gave my hard cat food he won't eat it I don't feel comfortable giving him the shots this is the 3rd day I'm afraid I'm not doing it write
Brandy, I can't give medical advice, but I do know that not giving the shots does more harm to your cat than giving them. The needle is so thin and you're giving them in a place that won't really hurt. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. With the food, can you try pouring tuna juice or something similar over it? If that doesn't work, reach out to your veterinarian.
PLEASE please make sure your cat eats before giving the insulin injection at least a couple of ounces most small cans of cat food are 2 and one half ozs each for comparison. Please also get your cat on low carb wet canned food Tiki After dark chicken in broth is a really good low carb canned food and also Weruva canned foods their BFF line of canned foods are good Weruva wet food has classics and many differant canned foods to try dry food is NOT good for diabetic cats way too high in carbs and please make sure you are giving the insulin as your vet prescribed or your cat will not survive i am trying to say that in as nice a way as possible...you also need to check his/her Blood Glucose BEFORE every insulin injection it is normally done from the ear yhere is a vein you can see around the outer part of the ear when you shine a flashlight through his/ her ear please do that and practice before you are ready to test His Blood Glucose none of this is hard it takes me longer to type this as it does to do the steps described get him.to eat test the blood Glucose and inject the insulin this is done every 12 hours or as your vet prescribes You MUST use U100 syringes with U100 Insulin and U40 syringes with U40 insulin.. There are tutorials on U Tube to show you how to test Blood Glucose you need a Blood Glucose test meter test strips and small blue lancets i just use the lancets with out the lancet device much easier ask your vet if your vet is not helpful... most are...find another vet ...before you dump the old one...also your vet should SHOW you how to do all the above as many times as necessary until you are comfortable with the procedure and answer any and all questions you have Any vet that tells you you do not have to do a Blood Glucose test before each Insulin Injection is NOT giving you good or correct information or advice Again ALWAYs make sure your furbabie eats at least a couple of ounces of canned cat food BEFORE injecting insulin this gives the insulin something to work on Giving a small treat afterward always helps to get your furbabie comfortable with the above just a little bite of chicken can make it more pleasant for him and you my babie sits and waits for me to do the Blood Glucose After He Eats then waits while i go into the kitchen and draw his insulin and come back to inject making sure the dose is correct in the syringe before injecting the insulin I only started this a few monthes ago i was terrified of doing something wrong and hurting my babie...we got through it the fear was actually the worst part You can do this it gets so much easier with time it takes me between 10 and 15 minutes twice a day You Got This do it for your furbabie...he needs you to do this to save his life💝
Here in the UK, there is a meat extract paste used for making beef drinks, called Bovril, similar in appearance to Marmite or Vegemite, but a little bit runnier. We cut a dog strip treat into squares, and then pick up the dog's pill with tweezers, dunk it completely in the bovril paste, then place it on the treat. Our labrador dog Penny will happily eat this. Prior to this we tried several other ways of disguising the tablets but all these attempts were unsuccessful. Hope this helps.
They do have an oral med now. I am using it for my 15 year old female. The name is Bexacat, and working for her. No idea how much more time she has, but is already one of the older cats.
Hi, is this in the States? My vet (in Europe) told me a couple of months ago that an insuline-free oral medication for cats has been approved, but that he is still waiting to be able to order it.
@@veerlebruggen2296 yes this is in the USA, but sadly both my pets, brother and his sister that had the bexacat, died three months ago. She was 15. I miss them both, very hard time for me. If you want to know how my girl Angel,did on it, I could review it for you.
All of the dogs were very much approachable, but at different paces. Dog number 1 was easy mode, I would say dog number 2 would have calmed down almost straight away after a bit of time. Dog number 3 seems like she has lost trust with people in the past and likely will be the more difficult dog to approach. Reminds me of my past Belgian shepherd, We got as a rescue, we know she was beaten by a guy who wore a hat before we got her. She hated anyone who wore a hat.
I have an adopted cat who hates shoes. Like if your wearing shoes he will run away and if he sees you putting them on he watches you intently. We know he was abused in some way as he had to have his leg remove due to a gunshot wound but this thing with shoes makes me wonder.
