It's hard to out-do a mule when you have a smart one. If you need to give a pill to a dog or cat, try rolling it up in the middle of some cream cheese, marble-sized.
Starker here, I knew a lab that you catch & eat 5 of the 6 pieces of balled bread but would always guess which one had the pill and not catch it. And there isn't much that labs love more than bread.
That asshole dog Jack absolutely hates his heartworm medicine. I can bury it in a solid chunk of meat or cheese and he'll eat all around the medicine, then spit it out. I usually end up prying his jaws apart and then shoving it down his throat while I keep his snout closed until he swallows. You ever try to pry a pit bull's mouth open?
Mine gets Heart guard, she loves it. But other than that, yeah you have to open the mouth and drop the pill way back in her throat, and she'll still not swallow it til it pretty much dissolves.
My trick for getting my pit bull to take pills was to make 5 or 6 balls of liver wurst with the pill inside the last one. She would gingerly eat the first 2 or 3 but by the last one it was gone in a single gulp. Never failed. Oh did I mention she LOVED liver wurst?
Gfxrocket- I share your dawg's opinion of liverwurst. Add deli mustard and horseradish sauce on lightly toasted and buttered sourdough and I'd take any kind of pill you want me to. And maybe throw in a Rolling Rock to wash the pill down with.
A friend of mine did body work. One of his biggest customers was a new car dealership. Fixing new cars before they could put them up for sale. I know, amazing right? The worst thing is, his favorite tool to fix things like this was Gorilla Glue. I couldn't believe it either, but he swore by it. He was a good friend from high school, but sadly he died several years ago, from a heart attack. He worked at my shop for a couple of years, but he missed too much time, since he was married to an alcoholic, and when he wanted to leave for work at night, she would either be drunk or not at home to watch her kids, and he could not leave the 3 youngsters at home alone, so he missed too much and was fired. Women like that can really cause you a lot of trouble. RIP, David.
#9- I had a cat that was good at “cheeking” his pills. You’d think he swallowed them but he’d walk away then spit them out. We had plenty of stories about “ psycho kitty”- good and bad.
#8 Looks like he's testing Michelin's Airless tire. #3 There usually are two or three plastic fasteners securing the rear edge of the bumper cover to the fender liner. I have to repair mine because I hit a snow drift a bit too hard. Al_in_Ottawa
#3 Used to haul cars for a living. Car haulers in my area can have as much as 7 feet over hang. 4 in the front and 3 in the back or vice versa, 83 feet long overall. Now I've been retired since 2002. We used to back pick ups over the tractor but we had to stop that if they had removable bed liners. Those suckers would come right out of the bed at 60 MPH. Maybe you used to see pickup bed liners on the side of the highway? That was a truck backed on. So we had to start driving them on the trucks and trailer instead of backing them on. Then one year, a manufacturer ( not going to say which) had really soft glass in the rear windows of their minivans. You'd back one of them on the tractor and when you got to the dealer, you'd have a blown out rear window and everything behind them on the truck and trailer would get sand blasted by shards of glass. I don't know how many cars were totaled that way. Those glass fragments would just tear up a car. Man, I could tell you stories about car hauling.........Buy me a beer sometime and I will. 30 year Teamster here.
#5 Should have deported all of them after the CW, along with the people that brought them in. #9 A cube of butter is wonderous for feeding pills to dogs.

I had a German Shepherd who would spit pills. I found it worked if I took two pieces of salami. I wrapped one around the pill. I took the second piece and let her see it near in my other hand. I would let her gulp down the first one and she was so greedy she gulped the first one down eager to get the second. One piece never worked. She would eat beef stew and spit the peas out Paul Jq

ReplyDeleteThis is most of them. Or all of the ones I've owned.

Deletecutter, after you put the pill in, blow in their face. works for me.
DeleteShit, I ain't blowing in a pit bull's face after forcing him to take something he doesn't like. Uh-uh, no way, nossir.

Maybe liverwurst covers up the smell of the pill.

So, you're taking care of his kids now?

ReplyDeleteThat crossbow is cool. Reminds me of the Slingshot channel on YouTube - German guy, makes some amazing devices.
ReplyDelete#3: Lexus has really missed the boat on their grille design. #5: too bad shop owners can’t just shoot ‘em. Pigpen: sorry about your friend.

#10 That donkey does a better job of backing a trailer than some of the truck drivers I've seen. He only had to pull forward once.
ReplyDeleteI had the exact same thought.
DeleteHe's probably a lot more fun to be around, too.
