new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

Iris:
I feel so bad that you cannot get these pills into Ian. I know you don't want any problems as your dear Flynn has not been gone that long. We will all have to think up some other options. I am housecleaning and taking a break, I have to finish or I will just leave it. I hope you are able to fool him at least once with the cat food Blessings

How about opening the capsule and dropping the ''powder'' into a glass of water or milk ,use a big syringe to drain it and give it???

Trilostane can be made into a liquid suspension and I've also seen Trilo made into chicken/beef chewable treats, do you think Ian would go for any of them?

thank you all for the suggestions!

iraklis, dechra warned not to open the capsules. you have to give it whole because it is bad for our health and your dogs throat and stomage. that is what i read in the vetoryl manual.

liquid i don't know, he is so suspicious of things in/on his food.
the treats maybe, but he is/was never food orientated.
besides i do have enough vetoryl capsules for a year in stock.[and no money left]
does anyone on this forum feeds those vetoryl treats?

p.s. patti, you work with vista right?
can you tell me how to bookmark sites?

and sharlene, still not a sound coming from my pc. any suggestions left?
pc says speakers are on, but i don't have speakers, i use a headphone.

When Daisy stays with grandpa and I go to Greenwich, I use Greenies pill pockets and she gobbles them down.

Iris:
I do have Vista and just use the icon ai have on my tool bar to bookmark. I have a little different set up since mine is a business version it sometimes will not let me open files etc. which is a pain. I also know that about the Vetoryl capsules as I had that conversation with Dechra. They told me the dog should not even bite them. I give Tipper a supplement and it is a huge capsule, it is so hard to disguise, I think don't they realize theses things are too big? I always fear it sticking in her throat too. Tipper started the swallowing again last nite even though she has the pill. I just would like to know what started all this, and the root cause. It is going to be nice here so I hope we can have a few walks. Hope you and the babies get out and it is not too hot. In the summer Tipper has to go real early, or late because of her heart, and the cush dogs don't do well in heat and humidity. Blessings
Patti

yes patti, heat and humidity are not good for cush doggies.
ian is not happy with this kind of weather.
the waterlevel is low in "'our river"', so there is a small beach now.
we walked through the water so we had cold feet to cool us down.
ian does not swim, but enya does. their mom was a seal in a dogs body, she loved swimming. ian was almost born in the water.
he goes as far as his belly touching the water. his father did not swim too.
today we tried the peanutbutter trick, my hands are sticky, but i think the pill is down.
i believe tipper has the same tracheal problems as i have my whole life, there is nothing to do about it the doctors have told me.
i use a.h. pills, nasal spray and ventolin.
have a quiet sunday!

valerie, i looked those pill pockets up on the internet and i found something like this in my country, and guess what? he does not want them! his sister is eating them as a treat right now..................

Iris:
That sounds so beautiful going along the river and getting your feet wet. Tipper would love that. When she was well I had a kiddie pool in the back yard for her. I had a small motorized fish that would wiggle and swim. She would get in that pool and attack that fish and throw it in the air, she would not stop trying to kill it until you got it out of her jaws. First thing in the morning as soon as soon as sheate and was outside she started about that fish. She would get up out of bed at nite and whine to go get it. She was obsessed with this fish. We don't do that anymore as it would be too much on her but I do have it on video, it is hysterical.
Hope you have a good Sunday with your babies and I hope the peanut butter worked. Blessings
