As you all do, I try to be so careful with transferring a pill from the bottle as I am pretty sure anything I take would be a certain death sentence for Tibbe. I have been training him for quite some time to "Leave It! " and "Bad! Uh-oh!" when I hold a pill of mind out to his nose to try to instill some type of automatic/reactionary avoidance response, if I can. He has always snorted when I hold a pill of mine toward his nose and then he turns his head and backs off, so with the attempts at training, I am hoping he will learn a pill is something he should avoid and turn from. And I know it will likely confuse him when I have to administer a veterinary pill to him but I had rather he be confused and learn to avoid pills. I hope it will work. |
