I hope you feel better soon but wow that really is alot of pills (even for a big doggie like you). <br /><br />You were such a cutie of a puppy.<br /><br />Mom bought one of those ramps for me and I would never use it so mom gave up...she may have to try again with me since I'm getting older. It's just been sitting in the garage collecting dust. <br /><br />AARF Kasha the Dainty Great DaneKasha The Dainty Great Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628195349272555411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034453006348195219.post-50297495280706655542010-04-11T22:29:49.965+08:002010-04-11T22:29:49.965+08:00Darwin!

Poor Darwin...Oh my goodness - what a lot of pills!! Poor Darwin - and poor you! But we find that coating in peanut butter works quite well too. (Although to be honest, Honey is so dumb - if I held a pill up and made a lot of fuss of it and said, "oooh - yum! yum!" - she'd probably just swallow it, thikning it was a treat! :-)<br /><br />That's a great idea about the ramp! We keep thinking we should get one for Honey too - to get her used to it in preparation for future when she's older and it's too hard for her to jump in & out of the car...but I'm so reluctant to have to carry around YET ANOTHER huge heavy thing! (Am just struggling to get used tp her new crate!) And they're so hideously expensive too - I think we'd have to order one from the US or UK. Also, the ones I've seen seem a bit flimsy and bounce & bend a bit when a large dog walks on it - I sort of worry a bit about it sliding off when Honey gets on! But yours looks very solid and good...didn't move much when Darwin walked on it (how much does she weigh, if you don't mind me asking?) - and what's the brand of your ramp? I might check it out!<br /><br />Hsin-YiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116997529248428606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034453006348195219.post-14658418733799163302010-04-11T03:41:58.687+08:002010-04-11T03:41:58.687+08:00Hello, my sweet sweet furiend.

I am really proud of how you are dealing with the ramp. You know it takes me 5 minutes to cross that thing? Now be a good girl and listen to your parents and you will be just fine.<br />xoxoxo<br />TwinkieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813357790467721660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034453006348195219.post-67331165920104039112010-04-10T02:43:49.035+08:002010-04-10T02:43:49.035+08:00what a lots of pilllls

That is a wonderful thing to do for her and so glad she took to it so well (thanks to your careful introduction!). Awesome. <br />As for pills... not so awesome. I especially hate giving dogs capsules. Might not be justified but I think they are more likely to eat around them and one doggie I dogsat would chew them and little puffs of powder come out of her mouth Oi! You have quite a job with that many pills. If you want some variety I find that whipped cream cheese works well too. Less fattening (not an issue for her) but I find it sticks to the pills enough to disguise them but not such a mess on fingers and spoons. I actually drag the pill right through the cream cheese (must be whipped kind) so I eliminate the need for spoons/knives. Just a suggestion... PB is a favorite but if you get tired of it might be worth a try! (also- Moose has his own container that I don't use for people so there is no issue with using fingers in the container.). <br />Paws crossed that all of this care results in a cured doggie and I hope the side effects will lessen a bit too. That sounds exhausting!Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855501163292890825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034453006348195219.post-23810014045583601942010-04-09T03:28:56.393+08:002010-04-09T03:28:56.393+08:00Soon she will be as skilled as a tightrope walker....Soon she will be as skilled as a tightrope walker.

Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon. I know the Peanut Butter is a miracle for getting my Josie to swallow any pills I need her to take. She licks the spoon and my fingers too (I was laughing when reading your post because I can totally relate). Sending lots of Pet Therapy healing thoughts your way so that she gets better soon. Much Love, Woof!
