Jane that reminds me of when I had to give Maizee her big capsule full of meds
everyday.We ended up having a routine.After she swallowed the pill for me I
gave her a couple of finger dips of cool whip.She loved the stuff.When she saw
me take out the bowl she would lick her chops.I miss that baby girl.

the aftertaste. Can your husband help you when dosing him? When we had to
dose MeMe it helped if one of us held her
and petted her while the other opened her mouth and squirted it in.
I can hear how discouraged you are. I just want you to know that almost a
year ago I brought MeMe home with
a terrible upper respiratory, swollen gums, swollen lymph nodes, giardia and
diarrhea. As I am typing this she is
flying around the dining room, terrorizing two Scotties who cannot keep up
with her.
I know that BooBoo is on his own path, and that comparisons cannot be made.
It is an emotional roller coaster,
but sometimes things can level off.
We're thinking of you, knowing how difficult this is.

I had a frightening event with BooBoo this morning. He hates being given
this Doxy and fights me. I gave him some water via syringe after it as well.
Suddenly he started gasping for air, breathing through his mouth for about 10
minutes. He is anemic and breathes heavily under normal circumstances. I
can't imagine what kind of stress the Interferon shots are going to cause him.
Should I try mixing this Doxy with his wet food? It's doubtful he would get
the appropriate dosage if I did because he is a light eater. I'm beginning to
think that I'm fighting a losing battle here and perhaps it would be best to
just let nature take its course without intervention. I hate this. One minute
he seems perky and now he's just exhausted. I spent the time with him while he
was having problems breathing comforting him, just to get him settled down and
even his purring was excessively loud. I don't know how much more this little
guy can tolerate.
