None of us want to “mistreat” or babies or cause them stress, but sometimes you have no choice. I’ve found that we, as Yorkie parents, get more stressed than the babies do. She will get over the trauma of being forced to take medicine in mere minutes - especially if you give her a favorite treat afterward. It’s always less traumatic for us if my wife doesn’t help. I just hold Bitsy's mouth open squirt the medicine down her throat. She doesn’t like it, but forgets about it quickly.
