Method of administration to sick dogs

Most of the drugs for the treatment of dog disease are administered orally. There are many ways to administer drugs to dogs, which should be selected according to the dosage form, dose and symptoms of the drug.

1 tablets, pills and plasters are given to dogs in proper sitting posture. The left palm crosses the bridge of the dog's nose, opens the mouth with thumb and index finger (or middle finger) from two corners respectively, or wraps the skin on both sides of the palate around the upper dentition to open the mouth, then place the tablets and pills on the base of the tongue, or apply the plaster on the base of the tongue with a bamboo stick, release the left hand, hold the dog's jaw with the right hand, and let the dog swallow.

2Infusion of a small amount of water medicine, or powder, crushed tablet plus a small amount of water suspension, and traditional Chinese medicine decoction, etc., let the dog take a standing or sitting position, properly Baoding, the drug dispenser opens the mouth with the left hand from the corner of the mouth, the right hand holds the medicine bottle or spoon into the mouth, pours it into the liquid, waits for the dog to swallow, and then irrigates until the filling is finished. When taking medicine, the dog's head should not be raised too high to prevent the drug from choking into the trachea.

(3) A large number of aqueous drugs are injected into gastric tube, and the application of gastric tube administration is not only not a waste of drugs, but also safe and reliable. Before administration, a gastric catheter of appropriate size was selected, the distance from the nasal end to the eighth rib was measured with the gastric catheter, marked on the gastric catheter, and applied to the front of the gastric catheter with lubricants such as paraffin oil. When taking medicine, let the dog take the sitting position and properly Baoding, put a special iron tube (about 30 cm, 1.5 cm in inner diameter, with a round hole in the middle to allow the stomach tube to pass through, with sliding iron rings at both ends and tie a rope) into the dog's mouth, and the iron rings at both ends are tied to the upper jaw, ear and back of the ear with a rope. Then insert the lubricant stomach tube into the mouth slowly through the round hole in the middle of the iron tube. When reaching the pharynx, gently twitch to stimulate the pharynx, and when the dog swallows, insert the gastric catheter into the esophagus. At this point, it should be determined whether the gastric catheter enters the esophagus. Determination method: blow air from the end of the gastric catheter and see fluctuations between the jugular veins; or insert the pinched rubber ball into the gastric catheter, and the rubber ball is still shrunk (negative pressure in the stomach); or use the ear close to the end of the gastric catheter to listen to whether there is gas flow caused by respiratory movement. After confirmation, continue to insert the gastric catheter into the depth until the mark. After that, the funnel is connected to the port of the gastric catheter and the liquid is poured. After filling the medicine, pull out the funnel, blow into the tube, make all the liquid in the tube into the stomach, gently pull out the gastric catheter, and then remove the iron tube placed across the dog's mouth.
