Sending good thoughts your way. I hope your little man feels better soon and that his test results come back in your favor.

Endoscopy can be a little rough on the esophagus. He may have a bit of a sore throat for a day or two. Hopefully that will resolve soon and he may feel more like eating.

He is playing with Gracie again and seems to have some energy back but I am having a HARD time getting him to take his pills. One of the pills is pretty good sized so I tried hiding it in chicken but he sniffed it out and said no way. Usually when we would have meds to take my dh would hold him and I could put in his throat but with my dh gone this week I am on my own. We will get it done but he hates me for it. He isn't eating much of the canned food that the vet gave me but I did get him to eat some chicken and rice. That makes me feel better when he will eat something. He has been sneezing some and biting at his paws so I don't know if its allergies or the meds causing that I will ask the vet tomorrow when she calls. Today is a new day and hopefully a good one.

I am going to tell you what I do with pills. I am sure that it is not the healthiest option out there, but I have yet to have a pup not take pills!! I get the Hostess Streusel cakes...(they come in a box). I take a small piece, about 1/2 teaspoon, and hide the pills in that. It has YET to fail! Not sure why, but it does work. I have been told they eat things because of the way they smell...I don't know that these little cakes smell, but every pup I have ever done this with has loved it!

Ha ha! I'm going to have to try the HOSTESS STRUDEL method!! Sounds like it's a winner.

Thanks for the idea the vet said keep him on a bland diet but if there is an easier way to get him to take these horse pills without shoving them down his throat I will do it. He runs and hides everytime and then he is so mad at me and we have to do this three times a day. YUK

I have used it on many pups...it is such a small amount. I have not had any problems. Good luck!
