Please give advice this is my first puppy and I'm so worried all she's doing is sleeping still.

I am having the same problem with my Brooklyn. She fights me all the way. I found that if I mix the medicine in about a half teaspoon of vanilla yogurt it works great for both of us. She licks the yogurt right up and has no clue the medicine is in it. My girl is very tiny (2 lbs.) and the way she fights I'm afraid I'll break her little jaw trying to open it and put the meds in. This is so much easier. Oh and as far as eating. If she will not eat her regular food, try to boil some white chicken breast, brown rice and carrots and chop it all up. I actually smoosh the carrots and shred the chicken really fine like a wet food woutd be. it works great and they love it. Elaine
