Someone else told me to try blowing in their nose instead of stroking the throat to make them swallow. Lets just say that was a nightmare that left me with a really upset dog!!
And that was with my mellow Sheltie... could you just imagine how a York would react!!  |
I can imagine! LOL Miko's really good about it...I think he knows he needs it, but he has his moments too. Don't let him trick ya
My husband administers his medicine everyday, and he has pretty much mastered it, but there are days that Miko just won't have it. Every once in awhile when he's getting his lactulose, he'll turn his head on purpose right before hubby pushes the liquid out of the syringe, and Voila...Sticky, gooey stuff all over his face and coat! hehe For the most part it's not bad though, the pills are much easier, I think
