The whole problem with an oral syringe and pill pusher is getting the object near his mouth. If we could manage to get anything in his mouth, we would just use our fingers.
We have no problem with Maddie when it comes time to give her anything, and we when we have to we always try to do it in front of Maui to show him that we aren't hurting her when we do it (a kind of "Monkey See, Monkey Do.")
Ugh and the Vet called, they have to reschedule his appointment. Not very happy. Monday afternoon he goes.
I'm going to try doing the other medication (Chlor-Trimeton). If it smells and tastes better than the Benadryl, I might be able to try the pill pocket again. Maui knows the box for the Benadryl and can smell the thing through the pill pocket. If that doesn't work, we'll mash it up and mix it in his cat food, or as a last resort, make it into a paste and put it on his paws.
