BTW, ear drops are easy. I just sneak up on him while he's sleeping. :-) |
Good job! Just appropriately restrain, go into impersonal "nurse" mode, becoming matter-of-fact with him, administer the medication and then right back into mommie role as soon as the medicine is dispensed. He'll learn in time not to fear or fight you as you dose him confidently and quickly and then it's party time! hehe - I never look Tibbe in the eyes during administration of medication - it's easier to stay in nurse mode that way.
