Thank you for the replies, everyone on this site is so helpful and it's comforting gaining so much information. I went in and read yorkie3's thread and it was very informative with a lot of the same things the vet told me this morning. I wish your lil Joey well after surgery. Kodak goes back in a week to see if the spot softens and there's no serious infection. They told me to keep giving him the tablets until gone. He keeps chewing this tiny pill, then when I think he's swallowed it, it's hanging off the hair on his mouth. I had to literally stick it in his mouth so it would go down with him spitting it out

He didn't fight me, but it was hard to open his mouth. I don't want him to think I am trying to hurt him.
Any suggestions on how to get him to take this pill? And he keeps licking the bald spot where they gave him the shot. Can I cover that with something or just leave it?
