I have a what the vet called pill popper for molly. You put the pill in the end of it, it looks sort of like a small syringe and then you put it in their mouth and I guess shoot it down their throat. I have terrible luck with it, but the vet tech uses it with molly. The only one who can really get a pill down her is the office manager at the vets office. She rolls wet dog food into a ball around the pill, gives it to molly and molly Takes it! Not a chance she'll do that for me though. Is that the same thing as a pill gun?
I'm so glad Squirt ate and twice even. That must be a record in the last couple weeks. :) Good for her. That is one dog that knows what she wants And what she Doesn't. Mind of her own. :)

I am curious about the Trinkets Home Cooked. I have never heard of this. Where do you get it and what is it exactly? I am so glad Squirt ate and has the brightness back in her eyes. I think due to Marcela help it gave me good judgement into not letting this Dr. touch my Tipper. I am grateful for all she has done for her. Hope you and Squirt enjoy a peaceful weekend. God Bless You Both

Yep, my Sweet Bebe definitely has a mind of her own! :D Usually set in concrete! :rolleyes::p
I tried giving her some of her food this morning and it was a no go - but she wanted Trink's again. Theirs have the same ingredients except Squirt's has salmon and Trink's doesn't - so I am making Squirt's without the salmon today. We will see....
Patti - a nutritional consultant, Catherine Lane, has formulated recipes for my babies. Squirt's and Trink's both have dark chicken, beef liver, quinoa, white rice and the supplements calcium carbonate, zinc, taurine, and manganese mixed in plus fish oil and Vit E added to each meal. Squirt's also includes the salmon. Brick also has recipe but he can't eat soft foods - his coordination is not good due to the hydrocephalus so he gets some of his recipe baked into chewy cookies along with kibble and he can handle this just fine.
Squirt wanted in the bed again last nite but stayed the whole nite this time...and she rested well. Still no leaking. Weird but I'm not complaining! I noticed something else odd - we have been having some mild storms since yesterday afternoon. Squirt has had 62.5mg of Lyso and no melatonin at all this week - but she has been MUCH less anxious with these storms coming through. I did get some Passionflower and Skullcap in her via syringe last nite but that has never been enough on its own - even with the added melatonin she would still shake pretty badly. No shaking at all yesterday, last nite, or this morning. I expected her to be more nervous with no melatonin and very little Lyso on board. :confused: But again - I'm not complaining! :)
BTW, hope is a wonderful thing to have.
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirty
Leslie,
more improvements...yeah!!!!!
Hi Leslie,
How is our Squirt this morning? Give her hugs and kisses for me
hugs and kisses to you as well:):):)
Leslie:
I hope your precious Squirt continues to improve, she is sounding like she is on the upswing thank God. Blessings
Patti
Thanks! Squirt slept in the bed again last night and slept well. She has been eating her food, mushed up instead of chunky like she used to want it. Her mouth is still not right and may never be but she is having an easier time eating and drinking. With the storms expected to continue through the night last nite, I gave her some melatonin in her supper - and she ate only a little over half of it. Dumb move on my part. :rolleyes: I was a bit concerned that would have put her off the food again but she ate breakfast just fine. :)
My youngest grandson is here with us this weekend and it was obvious she is still off because she didn't run to greet him or spend any time with him. She has always been very protective of both grandsons and loves them dearly, always excited to see either of them - but not this time. Her greeting was very late and quite reserved, and she has basically ignored him since. But I am ever so grateful for the improvements she has made so far.
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt
Hi Leslie,
Yay for Squirt and for you! I am so glad that she is eating and had a good night.:) I hope you were able to get some rest too! :)
Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy
Hi Leslie, I do hope that eventually Squirt will greet the grandsons the way she usually does. I'm sure it is something that she and the boys both enjoy. I guess everything just takes time.
Sleeping well though is a good start and eating, even if not as much as she might have at one time.
hugs,
