Actually it is not crazy. My son has really bad psoriasis and it has been recommended to him too. It actually is a pretty common treatment to use saran wrap to help keep the ointment or in this case Crisco on the skin. From a medical standpoint it would be like applying a tegaderm to the skin after a surgery. We also use tegaderm in the OR.
Rizzosmom~ my suggestion would be to get him out of the crate and put a harness and leash on him. When it is time to get him out of the crate for potty or treatment you can use a treat and gently guide him out. Just leave the harness and leash on him all the time. I use to do that with Pebbles when she was younger and in her cart. She was kind of a devil
I feel so bad for the poor guy. I'm sure that he doesn't like being forced the medicine and it probably tastes horrible. Hmmm i wonder if you could ask the pharmacy to add one of those flavors to it like they do for kids. Maybe they have chicken or liver flavor
...........JK about the flavors but not about the idea. I also wonder if you could possibly mix it into canned food and give it to him that way? He might take it more readily?
