| What about coating the pill with butter to make it go down easier, or with a little dab of liverwurst. That is what I do with all the pills I give my furbaby. She just gulps it down with a thin coating of liverwurst. |

| Awww...Poor little guy!! He probably is a bit sore, but he'll get used to taking the pill. It took Miko a little bit, but he caught on to the morning routine. Good luck and if you need any advice let me know!

| What does your baby have? Miko has a liver condition that is inoperable and has to be managed through special diet, medication, and supplements. It's intrahepatic liver shunts/MVD. I highly suggest a bile acid test if your vet suspects a liver problem.

| OMG, poor little Scruffy. I wish I could just hug him and make him feel better. The only way I get pills down Roxy is wrapped in a bit of cheese, or coated with a little peanut butter. I hope these meds work. Prayers on their way for you lil sweetie.

| It saddens me to hear Scruffy is still sick, but I am happy to hear there are signs of improvement. I'll continue to hope and pray that he gets better every day, 'til he's 100%. Wish you both well, sounds like you're doing everything in your power to see that he's taken care of. Oh yeah, I'm so glad he lifted his leg like a BIG boy...sometimes, the littlest things mean soooo much!!!

| Scruffy is doing a little better today. Got that pill down his throat this morning, it wasn't easy - his throat must still be soar - he fought the whole time. Crushed his other 3 meds & added to a teaspoon of PrescriptionA/D food. Only could get him to eat half of it. Will try again now. He has no Appetite at all! Drinking a little water. His is more active today - going outside, walking around in the house. But nothing like his old self Yet. He even went into the puppy cage this morning to check on his 4 babies (they are 2 wks old). Have you seen them yet on YT? If not - here is the link: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77802
