Well, I haven't even tried to give it her directly. She's pretty good about me picking her up and carrying a short distance, also holding her for a little while. But both of those things have been hard won and I don't want to spoil her trust by holding on and forcing the pills down her, unless I have to of course. Luckily I gave her the two doses crushed in some food and she has eaten it all.

This morning I opened a can of minced beef and crushed the first quarter into a warmed tablespoon full. She didn't eat it all but I mixed in some crunchies and warm water and she ate it all later on. This evening I mixed the second quarter up with a little bit of chicken and a little of the minced beef. I checked just before I logged on and she has eaten it all. I washed the dish and gave her some crunchies and she must have been hungry because she ate half of that before she came downstairs to join me!

The mince will have to be used up in two days so I am thinking of getting some jars of babyfood and maybe some tuna to mix the rest of the pills in. Fingers crossed that she will keep eating them up!

BTW she is still back to keeping silent, not even a squeek!
