Maddie is on metronidazole for her inflammatory bowel disease and will be on it the rest of her life. I get the pills and have to break them down to smaller pieces and then I put them into those little plastic capsules. That was recommendations from my vet and when I asked why, he said they are so terrible tasting. Maddie is impossible to give a pill to, so after putting the piece into the capsule, I use those baby food chicken fingers that look like little wieners...break off a piece of that and make an opening into that with a toothpick and then push the capsule into that. Maddie loves those and thinks she's getting a treat and she doesn't taste the horrid tasting medicine because it is in the capsule. Your vet would have those little capsules on hand. Hopefully this will help you! I hope your little one feels better soon! Sounds to me like he could probably have IBD like Maddie. Pepto Bismol is also recommended by my vet and seems to help Maddie when she has her problems! Good luck! Let us know what you find out at the vet! |
