How to Give Methylcobalamin to Dogs
- 1). Position the methylcobalamin tablet in one hand comfortably. Take your dog to a familiar, quiet place.
- 2). Hold your dog's muzzle firmly, thumb on one side and your fingers on the other. Use the hand that is not holding the pill. Tilt his head back so that his eyes face the ceiling. Squeeze his muzzle right behind the teeth. His jaw should automatically open up.
- 3). Push the dog's mouth open further. Using the hand holding the methylcobalamin tablet, maniupulate your fingers into the open mouth, exercising care around her teeth. Place the tablet in the back of her mouth, as far back as you can without causing your dog to gag..
- 4). Close the dog's muzzle and hold it closed. Lower his head to make it easier for the dog to swallow the tablet.
- 5). Give the dog ample praise and a treat after she swallows. This creates positive reinforcement for her good behavior.
