They gave me the herb, with vitamins and to perk his appetite, as a liquid, because they knew he wasn't eating. They were so concerned that they said they might keep him, if he wouldn't eat. But then, they give me all these pills to get into him! Yikes!
:wow:

And they know me well enough that they know that I'd do anything. They showed how me how to administer subcutaneous fluids to my 18-year-old cocker, and trusted me to do it. I would do meds rectally, if I could just find it. As I said, I have a hard time finding this tiny guy's mouth!:shrug:

And I certainly wish that you were closer to help. Hell, I'm desperate! I'd meet you halfway!:-)

But my vet e-mailed me back very promptly with a very good solution. Here's what he said:

Hello:

The easy way is to compound the medications into liquid with the flavor he likes. We have a pharmacist that does that. If you like we can do that Monday or when you come Tuesday we can call her and have the medications done that way.

see you Tuesday
