Hi, I have three babies and cheese does the trick for the two of them. However, my Trixie won't go near anything if she even thinks a type of med is in her treat, food or whatever. She was sick and I was given pills and a liquid. I was ready to pull my hair out by day 3 with her. Honesty, I tried it all. The cheese, smashing it and etc. Finally, because she was spitting the liquid back out and refused to take the pill I had to get a syringe and open her mouth and shoot the liquid down her throat really fast. With the pill I opened her mouth and was practically putting it down her throat. I'd rub her throat to make sure it went down. The trick was speed. I felt like an abusive mommy but after 3 days and no meds I had no choice. She was sick and not getting better. Perhaps your vet could show you how to give meds without using anything. I know it can be so frustrating when they are refusing. Hope your baby feels better soon and good luck with the meds. |
