Best way to work a Dog?

I use 1/ 2 a really cheap cheese slice and wrap a cod liver oil tablet and a bulky glucosamine tablet in it. Doesn't even taste it. It doesn't work with ham though beacuse he tries to chew that.

I've just wormed my Lab this morning, I used the Panacur liquid which I mixed with her kibble and added some natural yoghurt. Jobs a good 'un

However, I attempted to worm my cat last week. I started with the granules mixed in with some lovely fish for breakfast. Cat looked at food, refused to eat it. Food was left there with "You're not getting anything else". Food was ignored for the entire day. Food was taken up in the evening and normal food put down. Normal food eaten as if cat had never ever been fed.
So, a few days later we tried the Panacur liquid. Cat was wrapped in towel, held tightly by partner. Cats jaws were prised open by me and an attempt to squirt in liquid with syringe was made. Cat spits liquid out. More liquid given (entire dose was 2ml, each attempt put 0.1 of a ml into cat's mouth...). Cat spits liquid out, wriggles free from towel, gouges OH's elbow and runs away. Cat then proceeds to make 'ick ick ick' noise whilst showering floor and furniture with mixture of spit and Panacur liquid. We give up.
Drontal tablets are purchased. I take half a tablet and approach cat. Cat looks at me in loving manner and allows me to pick her up. I hold cat whilst prising open jaws and pop tablet in. Mouth is quickly and firmly closed and held onto. Throat is gently rubbed, cat stands quite happily whilst this is done and even begins to purr(!)....
10 minutes pass. Cat has swallowed several times, grip on cat is released. Cat spits tablet out onto floor. Cat and tablet are both retrieved, jaws opened and wet, squishy tablet popped back into mouth. Mouth clamped shut again, throat rubbed. Cat now has saucer eyes and looks as if she's going to rip my face off. Tablet appears at side of mouth. Tablet put back into mouth. Tablet appears at side of mouth. Cat produces frothy comination of spit, drool and worming tablet which dribbles down chin. Partner called to assist, requested to gently squirt some water from syringe into mouth. Cat swallows water, spits out tablet. Cat escapes grip, then proceeds to shake frothy, spit based drool onto floor and furniture. Worming attempt abandoned. Cat remains smug.

omg thanks for that I almost died laughing! I took mine to see the Vet about her limp, get there & does she do it? NO! Bl00dy typical lmao i'm sure she did it to spite me. Her leg is swollen though so she couldn't totally fake being ok!

I wasn't laughing, I can tell you! The first time I wormed her, she quite happily ate the food I gave her with the granules mixed in, but she was around 10 or 12 weeks and happy to eat anything! Last time she was wormed, the vet did it and it looked so effortless, so easy and cat quite happily swallowed the tablet and the water. I thought "Ok, I can do that..."

Yeah right :rolleyes:

before i went for the chicken trick Rio was the same as your cat so i used toplay with him and rub his bell till he did the usual dog trick, feet in the air, mouth open and tongue hanging out. As soon as his mouth was open wide enough i'd flick it down his throat like a 10 year old flicking snot..
