So, I have found the perfect method. Cooper now takes 5ml of Zyrtec per day. I poor 5ml of the medicine into the dosage cup and then put about 2 ml of water in with it. He licks it up like it's the best treat in the world! |
Wow, I guess that must taste sweet. I give Bella prednisone every other day. I hold my left hand on top of her snout and put my thumb and middle finger in her mouth to hold her mouth open. I tip her head back, put the syringe in and gently depress the plunger.
I learned not to make a huge ordeal about it, not to chase her around the house and she is now very accepting. She's such a good girl.
