I had my Layla Marie for 5 years and she passed from encephalitis. I had to give her oral medication and also an IV under her skin in her back each day. This occurred for about 4 months until she passed. I am comfortable giving oral medication. I usually gave them to her in soft dog treats. If you have another way you would like me to give them their medicine then that is fine. I now have 2 dogs that are both rescues. Bruce is an 8 pound Chihuahua mix and is around 6. He is very energetic and loves to play with other dogs and cats. I have a 85 pound German Shepherd which is a big baby. He is older, around 11. He likes to chill and relax on the couch or out on our fenced in patio. Both of my dogs are great with other animals and kids as well as up-to-date on their shots. I own my townhome and have a fenced in patio. I will go on daily walks and runs with your doggy and anything else you recommend or would like me to do with your dog. If your dog gets muddy or dirty, I will give it a bath if needed. I would just need to know if your dog has allergies to any types of dog shampoo.
