| Kennel Cough & Giving Meds So my Carlos started this chocking/gaging thing the other night and after some research I thought he had kennel cough. We took him to the vet last night and my suspicions were confirmed it was kc. I think he got it from a dog at the vet when I took him in for his checkup because he was not sick when I took him and he hasn't been around any other dogs. AHHH! They prescribed some meds for him. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to give him is meds with the syringe? He will not let me get near his mouth with it.

| It really isn't hard to do -- just hold his snout and put the syringe all the way in the back of his throat and pull the trigger. It won't hurt him. After a few times he'll understand what it is you're trying to do him. Poor soul. I hope he gets better soon!

| I always give medicine mixed in a litle can food. It is easier then fighting them.

| I just open the side of the mouth, and stick the syringe in and squirt. I then hold there mouth closed till they drink it.
