Poor little Lucky had a tough night. She shivered and shaked. She would not take the pain killers so she is "white knuckling" it. The doctor says the liquid medicine is bitter and probably bothers her gums. I tried the pill form today but she doesn't like that either. She is taking another pain killer but the better one, she just won't take it.
Today I tried to give it to her by hiding it in cheese, chicken, green bean, broth all with no luck. She turned her nose up to it all. This time it was the pill form. The nose knows! She can sniff out that pill. Too bad I can't give her coffee. You can hide most things in coffee.
She does look better. She ate like a champ this morning. We will see how she eats this evening. Poor baby!
Until tomorrow...
Isn't it amazing how dogs (and cats) can sniff out a hidden pill? We think we're so smart; they just laugh at us. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear wee Lucky is eating with gusto.
