Hopefully this is just a teeny bump in the road to recovery for Myndi. I hope she is seeing improvements by the time the weekend is over.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

Oh my goodness, Ellie. I'm hoping the best that this is something minor and Myndi is going to be ok. Again, I can imagine how you must feel. I'm sending out mega thoughts and prayers for Myndi, you and everyone involved.

Thanks Barry!
Thank you all for your continued well wishes and prayers. Keep them coming if you will be so kind!
Well it's one small step for Myndi, and one giant step for me. The diarrhea appears to have stopped - for now anyway. Those meds worked quicker than I expected - thank you Lord. The sheets I put down in the bathroom were clean this a.m. She barked me awake at around 2 a.m. so I took her out - they were clean then, and again this morning when I finally got up at around 7 a.m. Slept late!!
The pill shooter, however, was a waste of money. I have tried every tried and true method for getting a dog to open it's mouth, but NOTHING works with her. She clamps those jaws shut tighter than a vise. Actually, it's easier to do a bigger dog than these little ones. So it was back to the pet supply store last night for a liquid med dispenser. That actually worked out pretty good this a.m. It has a longer and softer end than just a syringe like doc gave me, and I dissolved her pills, flipped her on her side, and got the end in a little spot between her teeth, and squirted it in. Success. If you'll pardon the expression - "there's more than one way to skin a cat"!
So hope springs eternal........

I don't know if this would work for Myndi, but . . . .
We were taking care of our neighbor's dog once, and she was on a daily med. We just plopped the pill in the middle of a small glob of cream cheese - and down it went
Sorry to hear Myndi had a setback and sorry I missed it. Good to hear things are back to looking better. Yes, pilling dogs and cats can be a trip, some are easy, some are not!

Glad to hear the meds worked so quickly for Myndi. Hope things
get better for her quickly. Diarrhea is the pits.

I'm glad to hear that at least for now the diarrhea is gone. Hopefully it's gone for good. Yes, pilling animals is no fun. Luckily both Storm and Sky love cat treats so I'm able to give them their pills inside of pill pockets which are made to hide pills. I just cut them into 1/4's and then roll them into balls and then wrap the balls around the pill. They also make them for dogs so you may want to check them out for future use. You can buy them at most pet stores or at the vets. I'll continue to keep Myndi in my thoughts and prayers.
I was going to suggest the cheese thing, too; it always worked for my doggies but you're right, once they're on to ya, you have to try something else. I hope Iron Jaws lets you continue to medicate her. I don't want to hear that you're minus a digit or two.
Blessings,
Mary
