Getting your dog to take medication...
Quote:
Good to see that you all had a good time. It was my dog's follow up exam at the Vet to his 1-21-14 heart failure yesterday afternoon (2-21-14) and he has been quite a pill about taking his medications. I thought about stopping by on the way back but the skies were quite dark and I was with a rather frazzled pooch. I know Barefoot and Fireboy from Doggie Doo Run Run. Nice people. |

Coincidentally, Fireboy was dropping off some blankets for the pets at Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital while I was waiting to pick up Sport after his all day at the vet on January 21, 2014. Sport is hanging in there but not sure how long he will be around. Hopefully, a good long while and we are getting very creative on getting his pills down but it is still something of a morning and evening battle. I did not know trying to outwit a Chihuahua/Terrier would be so tough? All he seems to think about is his family; hunting (digging) for gophers, moles, and voles at the dog park; gecko chasing; watching sports programs on TV (anything with balls); and sleeping. He is not the keen on food unlike all the other dogs we have had. |

Tal, have you tried those "pillow packs" I think they are called? Schnauzers are also very stubborn and I have found these packs to be very helpful. I hope Sport's health improves, you never know with these kids. Have you gone to the vet hospital in Gainesville? They were incredible for Sam's liver cancer, and thank God, he's still going strong. Hope all goes well for you and Sport.
Gracie, we had 55 at one Crispers meeting a few years ago. It was a fun day, someday soon I will need to start attending again. Glad you all had a good time!

No. But maybe Sport will give me a birthday present and take his pills without any fuss and muss.

The vet's office people suggested peanut butter too for Sport but as much as he loves it, it seems to give him the runs. Ice cream used to work but he does not like it more than the idea of eating the pills. Most of the time, he knows there is a pill in something. I just have to over balance his desire to eat it with his dislike of having to take pills.

Tal, you're such a nice guy (everyone at the Dog Park says the same thing). Happy Birthday, and best of luck to you and to Sport.

Happy Birthday Tal. You have always been someone to be depended on for good information on this forum for all of the time I have been reading it.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. I wish you every good thing, but most of all for Scout to be better. I hope to meet you one of these days soon.

I find the cheapest beanie weenies to put our dog's thyroid pills in. He even watches me put the pills in them. Good luck pilling a cat. They are the worse.

Happy birthday, Tal, and good luck with Sport. I tried all those tricks with Crosby's allergy pill. Finally disgusted, I just threw it in his morning breakfast bowl along with all the other food. He doesn't even realize he's eating it.
He is a golden, however... they're not the brightest lights on the block!
