I didn’t want to do the peanut butter because it would have stuck to his sore mouth. Today he is doing good…I think it was still hurting him to chew last night and he didn’t know there was a pill in there until I had to quick pull it out before Dolly took the pill pocket when he dropped it on the floor. I had to get the pain pill in him, but all the times putting it in his mouth only to have him spit it out again, had it getting smaller and smaller. I was trying to think why the blowing in the nose didn’t work and It was because I didn’t have the pill far enough back. So when I opened his mouth and dropped it in an it was near the back, put my hand around his mouth to keep it shut and then blew gently into his nose, it was down.

Last night he wouldn’t eat the pill pocket and I had a heck of a time trying to get the pill down his throat – he kept producing it and he was trying to spit it out. Finally, the pill was smaller from his saliva already breaking it down. I opened his mouth, dropped the pill in his mouth so that it was near the back, then gently closed his mouth and blew into his nostrils. (my sister had a dog with epilepsy and she told me once that is how she gives him his medicine. This morning, he ran to the counter where the food canister is and so I filled one of his new treat balls and he played with it, crunched the food, etc. He went outside by Dolly and came back in. I have to give him medicine in about an hour, so I hope that he can eat the pill pocket with the pill in it – without spitting out the pill so many times. He might have learned last night that if he doesn’t eat the pill pocket that the pill inside does not taste good. He was so hungry that I hope that eating the kibble didn’t cause more problems in his mouth.
