I had to learn how to make my dog sawllow lots of pills when he almost died on me. he had the dog version of AIDS.. where his body quit making enough red blood cells.. and the only thing that ould be done to save his butt was to put him on some kind of steroid pill. im just so glad my little fuzbucket came out of it... the vet didnt give too good of odds... he said 50% of a chance he could come back.. and 50% he could go the other way...


but anyway,, i had to give him one pill every 5 hours or something like that the first week. at first it was real easy because he was so weak.. but once he started to feel better he was a nightmare to give the medication too...

you know where their main chewing teeth are,, those really big oddball shaped teeth way in the back of their mouths? well what you do is open their mouth up wide,, and you lay your palm on the dogs head,, and you press in gently his cheeks,, so if he trys to bite down he cant.. and you gently cram the pill in the back of his throat. remove your fingers off his cheeks and close his jaws and rub his throat...

that was kinda hard to explain.. so i hope it made sense.
