Dosing the Dog 
I N these columns and elsewhere I have 
always advocated common sense and 
exercise as the two medicines which are 
most valuable in keeping a dog in good 
health. Yet, inevitably, in the case of al¬ 
most every dog, there will be occasions 
when some simple remedy of more con¬ 
crete form must be administered in order 
to relieve a condition which can be touched 
in no other way, and here a knowledge of 
a few of the “tricks of the trade” will save 
considerable trouble. 
When most people decide to give a dog 
medicine they try to pour it down his 
throat as if he were a hungry child. Tow- 
ser, however, is constituted differently 
Introduce the medicine at the rear of his mouth 
from Tommy, so most of the remedy seeks 
the floor and the doctor's clothes in its ef¬ 
forts to escape from the sufferer’s unwel¬ 
coming mouth. The proper method is to 
kneel with the dog sitting between your 
knees with his back to you, and introduce 
the medicine at the rear corner of his 
mouth, pouring the required dose from a 
small bottle for the sake of convenience. 
Hold the dog’s jaws firmly together and 
pointed skyward, and when the medicine is 
in his mouth loosen your grip a little; he 
will at once swallow, and the trick is done. 
Medicine in solid form, such as pills and 
capsules of various kinds, can be given in 
one of two ways. If they are small and 
the dog is hungry, conceal them in little 
balls of bread or meat and they will reach 
their destination without delay. If the pill 
is large or the dog in such a condition that 
he will not take food readily, it becomes 
necessary to adopt a different method. 
Kneel over the dog as before, open his 
mouth with one hand over his upper jaw, 
and with the other place the pill well down
