Yes, you can take it as a powder - but wouldn't it be preferable to ask the pharmacist for a liquid which will probably taste a lot better!

it extremely is in no way very properly to provide up giving your puppy it extremely is medicine a million/2 way by, despite if i will comprehend the impulse to accomplish that having a perplexing to medicate canines myself. the wonderful way that i've got discovered to manage a liquid is to softly carry open the fringe of the mouth purely adequate to in effective condition the syringe in, squirt mutually as keeping the snout, and then proceed to hold until they have swallowed all of it. This generally takes 2 human beings, however the drugs does get taken. yet differently to attempt could be to combine it with some tasty canned foodstuff alongside with some kibble. attempt to get your canines excited approximately mealtime and it would be extra companies to end all of it. sturdy success. If it extremely is in pill kind, shove it right into a spoonful of peanut butter then scrape it onto the roof of the canines mouth. If it extremely is a great pill destroy it in a million/2 and use the peanut butter a pair of situations.

This is usually not a problem except that sometimes the powder tastes like ^%&$! I would put it in V8 or tomato juice and hold my nose. Only time release or extended preparations should be taken as is.

It all depends on the anit-biotic. I myself have a hard time swallowing the bigger pills. With amoxicillin and augmentin I know that you can do this. I would ask your pharmacist first though.

Why? If you are having trouble swallowing, ask a pharmacist. Sometimes they have them in liquids. Don't ever take less than required.
