Preparation of feeding potion items:

Medicinal powder, syringe, diluted sugar water

Steps for feeding potion:

1. Pull out the syringe piston and block the syringe outlet to prevent the powder from leaking;

2. Pour the powder into the syringe;

3. Point the syringe upward and slowly push the piston;

4. Take a small amount of diluent, melt the powder and shake well;

5. Before feeding, calm the dog's mood first, gently lift the dog's mouth, insert the syringe behind the canine teeth, and gently push in the potion;

6. Gently stroke your throat until you finish swallowing;

Note when feeding potion:

When feeding the medicine, the dog's mouth should be slightly raised, and the feeding movement should not be too fast to ensure that the dog has swallowing movements.
