There is my husband, but he is 83, has sight in only one eye (not good for precise work like eye drops), and is on blood thinners (bruises easily). He loves Roul, but I don't think he could do the drops, and I don't think he could contain this little fighting ball of fur. This is a dog with a lot of spirit! I have to figure out how to do it by myself.
Oh, I have also wrapped Roul in a towel, like you do when you are trying to contain a cat. Nope that didn't work either. He does not bite, but he bucks like a bronco.

Place your baby like a soccer ball between your arm and body scruff his neck gentle and with the other hand make a muzzle and have someone else apply the eye drops.......you might be able to apply the drops skipping the scruff part too it all depends on how much he'll fight you.

I have tried the Zen approach - I am calm, therefore my dog is calm. I have tried distractions - holding the Chi like a baby, feeding little bits of special food with one hand while trying to put the drop in with the other. I have tried the mommy dog approach - a gentle shake on the scruff of the neck. Then there is the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) approach, all the while being very careful of his little neck. The drops are supposed to go in three times a day, so far we have managed it, but it takes almost a 1/2 hour each time. In the past I have put drops in the eyes of an 80 lab mix - that was a piece of cake compared to Roul the wiggle worm. Help!
