Hi Franceen.
Well, so far so good. He's been off the stronger pills for 5 days now & the Piriton seems to be coping, touch wood!!
He's still a bit snuffly in the morning first thing, but it passes once he's up & about & hardly noticable during the day.
The Piriton hasn't made him sleepy. The vet said it would but he forgot to tell Button
He's a funny little dog anyway. He hardly ever sleeps during the day, a real bundle of energy, always up to something.....quite often pinching things he shouldn't like pens, mobile phones, the TV remote yesterday
But then at bedtime he zonks...sleeps like a log & is worse than a teenager at getting up in the morning......my husband calls him Kevin
The pill splitter is a miracle of science
A dark blue, clear, plastic box that's hinged. Inside there's a triangular bit where you wedge the pill, then you close it & a tiny, lethally sharp blade in the lid cuts it in half. You just have to repeat it on smaller & smaller sections. The hard part is getting the quarter to sit in place in the V while you close the box.
It didn't come in a packet but has "PILOMAT" stamped on the bottom & cost £5 at the vet's. Worth it's weight in gold.
