A golden retriever named Nala hilariously attempts to deceive her owner into thinking she's taken her worming medication. Watch the viral TikTok video to see Nala's clever tactic.
A golden retriever named Nala was caught on camera trying to trick her owner into believing that she has willingly taken her medicine, and internet users can't cope with it. In a viral TikTok video shared on Saturday under the username @golden_nala_bear, the poster throws the pup a snack, a piece of bread that she grabs midair, before the dog realizes what's inside and takes matters into her own paws.
'Worming tablet hidden in bread - sniffer dog activated,' reads a caption on the clip, as the pup, now aware of the medicine hidden in her food, pretends to smile at her owner instead of swallowing her food, so she can spit it out once she looks away. 'Pretend smile to convince mum I like it and WON'T spit it out where she'll never find it,' the caption says. As confirmed in the comments, Nala did in fact spit out her medicine as soon as she got the chance to do it. Dogs can get infected with worms in many ways, for example, by eating infected stool, raw meat or prey animals, through contaminated hosts like fleas, or through skin contact with contaminated animals. An article by Dr. Hector Joy for Pet MD explains that four main types of parasitic worms can be found in dogs. Hookworms stick to the wall of the small intestine and suck blood, posing a serious threat; roundworms are typically seen in puppies but adult dogs can get them too; whipworms live in the cecum and can be quite hard to diagnose; and tapeworms, which are typically carried by fleas. U.K. animal charity the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says that dogs should get regular worm and flea treatments to avoid contamination. If your pup gets infected with worms, you should contact your veterinarian as soon as possible, so they can assess your pet and decide on the right course of action. Different worms may need different treatment
