He's only just two and the food is for 7 yrs + but it is just for the protein thing. Also, how does that pill popper work? I am crushing the Sam-E and putting it in liquid in a medicine syringe. Thanks for any advice! |
The Sam-e helps to detoxify the liver. I had a hard time getting Freddie to take it and the "hand in mouth" technique was not a option. PetSmart had the pill gun for 7.99. It's a big syringe and the end is flexible to hold the pill in case it is too large for the syringe. Works like a charm.
Only problem is my Freddie is too smart for his own good. He's used to taking by syringe,(pepto, benadryl) when he feels bad. But he definitely knows he doesn't want it when he's not feeling bad so he puts up a fuss with this Sam-E, but .....da - dah.....alpha female wins again!!! lol
Thanks to all. This site is has been great for me.
