My dog has this annoying habit of throwing up after deworming. I know it’s a habit cos I’ve studied him.

When giving him the drug, I crush it and mix it with milk cos I know the drug is bitter and he fights and scratches me when I’m injecting it down his throat with a plunger.

After deworming him today, I mistakenly put out his food and water and he drank all the water in one go and has now thrown up the whole medicine.

Is there anything I can do to stop this or is there a more agreeable dewormer that the dog will happily chew?

Change the medicine to a different brand; You can get chewable deworming tablet. Also, don’t feed him water immediately after the drugs. Give him fish, or meat to chew on.

Lol he’s crazy. Fussy. Bossy.

Some days he just decides he wants to leave his pen and starts barking by 4am. I come out and inspect incase something is making him uncomfortable but he’s just being fussy.

What breed is yours?

First time dog owner here though.

Mine is Boerboel; She is so bitchy. I recently considered swapping her for a cat

She never want to stay in her cage. The moment she is chained she starts making irritating sounds to frustrate the environment until she is unchained, then she starts messing the compound up. She is so stubborn that if flogged with stick she won’t cry; I use high tension wire to flog her now!

She rejects all kind of food without meat or fish. There were times she refused to drink ordinary water unless it was milky water

First time dog owner too, and I have questioned that decision several times

Loool yes! I have gone through that eating phase with my dog too. I don’t bother wasting time and money to cook anymore. I just put out dry dog food and go about my business. When I notice it’s been eaten, I put out another. There are times he will eat one cup of dog food for like two days and some other times, he eats immediately I put it out.

And he hates being in a cage too so I just made a small enclosure for him to roam when he’s locked in at night. Mine is a lhasa.

They do the most annoying thing but the moment he comes to lick my toes, I just smile.

Animal cruelty alart!

Use a vet. If you can't afford a dog don't keep one.
