Today was a bit of a disaster. Who ever thinks giving wormer to puppies is easy think again!
This is not helped by manufacturers making containers for the wormer who seem to think it is an easy job.

Laying here like this makes you think 'Oh how sweet and innocent..... ' If you believe that you will believe anything. He and his brothers and sister are a determined bunch at the best of times. So now add a tube of wormer in a syringe type container. The instructions said 'Remove cap, insert end of syringe in puppies mouths and dispense the appropriate dose.
To start with I couldn't get the top off, but after nearly an hour of struggling, trying pulling it off and twisting it off, it was finally open.

Now to get one puppy..... The one bitch puppy was duly selected and while in my hand suddenly turned from a cute loveale puppy into a squirmy little monster as slippery as an eel!
So after a bit of a struggle finally got the syringe end on the wormer tube into the pups mouth pressed the end and waited.... nothing happened. So I pressed harder and suddenly it gave way and puppy was not so much black any more but more black with white splodges! (Just how did the wormer get all over her and me? It was aimed at her mouth).

Nearly half a tube of wormer had come out and puppy and I were covered in it! This tube was meant to do 9 puppies one dose each. Trying to hold onto a puppy who was determined to escape and was now not only extra wriggly but had the wormer paste on it made life very tricky as she became next to impossible to hold on to! To add insult to injury she decided at that moment that to poop on my trousers was also a good idea. Next time they need worming I need volunteers to do it! Once was enough fighting the little wrigglers to get the wormer into them. Sweet and innocent they might be, but they are a determined bunch when they set their mind to it!
