Question: How do you open a dogs mouth by adding pressure!?
Answers:
Of course you should calm your dog and hold him firmly during this procedure!. Tell him he's a good dog!.
Grasp the lower jaw toward the back of the mouth opening!. With your thumb and index finger, press inward at the place where the teeth come together!. This pushes the cheek skin between the hind teeth, so the dog has to open his mouth in order not to bite himself!. Keep the cheeks pressed inward as long as you need the mouth open!.
If you are giving him a pill, drop the pill into the very back of the mouth, then hold the mouth shut until he swallows it!.
Try to do this quickly and with little fuss, and then say "good dog" and pat him on the head!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
