Killian again

I hope this new regiment helps, Sue. Maybe a steady blood level will help to better keep the bacteria under control. Do you give him the pill whole? Will he take it better if you mix into the food? It's so frustrating when they refuse their meds. Killi is so lucky to have such a wonderful, loving, dedicated Mom. Killi, pill or not, you try and eat a little more, ok??? Hard as it is, try and keep your spirits up, Sue. We love you guys and send you hugs and prayers and slurpy kisses. Sleep well Killian. Star will be having sweet dreams about her bestest pal, I'm sure! Love, Sandra, Star***Shine and Cody Girl!!:)

You and Killi are in my thoughts, Sue. I hope the new treatment schedule helps.

Also new to the thread, but so sad to hear about all that Killian is going through. He is in my thoughts and prayers .......:)

So be a Gud Boy an take em fur yer Mom!

I also hope that the new treatment schedule works. More prayers for Killi are on the way.

Well I hope this works for Killian Sue.
I know what it's like when they think everything you give them has a pill in it. When Keisha had cancer on her nose, the pills we gave her made her so moody & tired, she didn't want to take any type of good food from me or Mark. Finally we just had to pop her mouth open & shove it in:( Made me feel terrible, but it helped her in the end.

I wish I could just pop it in his mouth, but that is where the pain is coming from, so he clamps his mouth shut. He is a large GSD with a huge head and mouth. When I try to pry his mouth open, he yelps and runs. He doesn't want anyone around his mouth! When he goes to the vet, she can't even check his mouth, because he clamps it shut. We have to catch looks, when he's panting to see what's in there. (sigh)

Today I tried the "stuffed in a pork sausage" trick and it worked today. I'm sure later I'll have to find something else, cause he looked at me suspiciously. Guess he won't fall for that one for a while. LOL

Oh, poor boy:( It must be just awful for your mouth to hurt so bad.
I sure hope you can keep finding different things to stuff the pills into so he won't figure it out;)

Sue,
You might try getting some fresh frozen Bil-Jac from your pet store or local feed and seed. You can thaw small amounts of it at a time and keep the rest in your freezer. You just make a meatball out of it, and the dogs love it. Never had a problem giving multitudes of pills to any of mine as long as I had Bil-Jac. Hope it will help. And most of all, I hope Killian will be feeling better very soon.

Oh im so sorry..........

HOW'S ABOUT LIBBERWURSTIE???? Cody just clamps down cause he's a suspicious BRAT!!@! Sue..maybe I mentioned this..peanut butter?????? Hmmm. thinking soft and yummy. Does Killi like flavored yogurt?? Cod's got his own spoon and sometimes will lick a huge scoop right off with pill inside before he realizes it! Poor Sue and Killi, I feel so bad for both of you!! Try to help, yet not wanting to hurt.... :(

Ohhhhhh, it's soooooo frustrating!!!!!!!!!
In two days, he's only had two pills and didn't eat two whole meals. He is suspicious of all food and most people who try to give it to him. Polish sausage couldn't hide the smell of the pill! My future daughter-in-law fooled him into taking a pill yesterday and today he took one in salami, but peanut butter, cheese, braunschweiger are all a forbidden food to him..... This is such a fight!! Shiloh just stands by and wonders why he's passing up the good stuff! sheesh!

Would Killian drink sugar water?

Try mixing up a stiff batch of sugar disolved in water - see if he'll lap it up...

Then try disolving the pill in the water...
followed by enough sugar to hide any taste of the pill. Probably best if there's only a minimum of water used - and LOTs of sugar.

Tried jelly yet?
How about Jell-O?

Keep trying - and we'll keep dreaming up ideas to try! :D

Hmmmmm, some good ideas..... Keep em coming. If I do two different foods a day to stuff it in, maybe it will work some of the time?? Hmmmmmm.... sardines?? something I can stick it in and he can't get it out.....

Sorry your so frustrated. I was just thinking about you two yesterday & wondering how it was going.
I wish I had some more suggestions, but the jello sounds pretty cool! Maybe it would just "slide" down his throat:)

Salami worked again for his pill this morning, but he wouldn't eat his breakfast....eeeerrrrrrggggggg.

Come on Killi! You gotta eat for mommy.

Killi, yer pal, Star***Shine here. Pleeze, pleeze eat fer yer Mommy:( You have ta get strong so you can play wif me when I come to visit ya:)

Dear Sue,
Prayers are being offered that our man Killian will start eating again and that you can find the perfect food to tempt him. I can imagine how frustrated you are.

Yaaaaayyyy!! The salami trick is still working!! AND this morning he ate all his food!!! Things are looking a little better again. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers!!

(Hi, Star**** (blush)....signed Killi)

"Killian, Killian, he's our MAN...!!!" Yippppeeee!!

Star's butt's wigglin so hard with happiness I think she' gonna go airborne!!:)

LOVE, KISSES, SLURPY, DROOLY, LICKS from Aunt Sandra, Star***Shine and CodyGirl!!

Yippie!!! Go Killi go!!! We won't stop the prayers though! Now go give your mom a big slurpy kiss to celebrate! I hope your appetite picks up to the point where you will be doing the "heavy head" at the table and pleading for snacks!!!

Angus, Roxey & Huney give you high 4's!!! Way to go Killi!

Will keep praying for Killian.

Great news, Sue!! Killian, keep up the good work, buddy!!

Give us a kiss, Salami breath!!!! I hope he's not reading this post or the jig is up!! :D :D Hmm. Kili and Cody should have a contest who can spit out a pill the furthest :rolleyes: Jeesh, it's like gulpin down a complete meal and leaving the peas whole..how do they do that??? :confused: Whew! What a relief Killi is eating!!! Fingers and paws crossed here for continued success..You GO KILLIAN!

Good Job Killi, you keep eating, so your Mom won't blow her top. LOL Sue I'm glad he is doing better, it must be so hard to have ups and downs almost every day, prayers are still going his way and I'm glad he is doing well right now.
Jackie, Miss Daisy and Perry

He must have been reading over my shoulder. He wouldn't touch the salami this morning. Had to force the pill down his throat. At least I think that's where it is unless I find it under the couch! :rolleyes:

(He wouldn't eat breakfast.) But I'm sure he'll eat supper. Today's the last of the pills for a month. Whew!! Hope his mouth stays ok til then.

He's only eating one meal a day. :( I am really considering another dental. It was too soon last time, maybe the vet will think it is ok now.

That's good news if Killie is eating at least one meal a day. Still, prayers and good wishes are going your way, as always, for the complete recovery of the wonderful and very much loved boy.

Still only eating one meal a day. :rolleyes: Trying to put off a dental as long as possible to let his liver settle. Never a dull moment here. Thank heavens for little favors, though.

Hope Killi has eaten a bit more today?

Hope Killi feels a lot better now:(

:( :( :( Oh, phooey! Killian is back on the pills again. Right now I'm cookin up some watermelon jello. He turned his nose up at the pill hidden in a bowl of blue raspberry Kool-Aid. Next Wednesday he is scheduled for a dental IF his liver panel is ok. Here we go again.............My head is spinning.........:eek:

Oh no :( Poor Killi and poor, poor you! :( time to double up on the prayers I think.
Hugs

More pillz, huh Killian? ~ NUTZ! :(

Hey!!! Cinders and the Smokey-one!!!
I like the red wine idea, for ME, not for the Kill-Boy!!! Hehehehe

Ohhhh, this is gonna be fun. Killi doesn't trust me for nothin!!! The minute I come at him, he turns and high-tails (just a figure of speech) it up to hide in my bedroom! I'm gonna have to pay people to come in off the street and offer him good stuff like steak, liver sausage, chicken, etc. with the hidden pill in it. Arggggggghhhhhhhh!
