[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 567700, member: 1233"] If nothing else, wrap her in a blanket or big towel. I have seen them do this at the vet school. They get the animal as calm as possible, then one person uses the blanket to 'hug' the animal and they wrap the dog up in it so it can't really move a lot. then they do the drops or whatnot and give a big treat and lots of praise and pets. The dog may pee, but no one gets bitten or hurt. Before that, I would work hard to make her see that bottle is where ALL good in her world comes from. Throughout the day, when she gets a treat or praise, she sees that bottle. Most of the time is just comes close to her and she gets yummies and praise and pets. Once in a while it goes in ehr ears. In a day or two, esp if you make a really big deal out of the praise and treats, she will link it to good things. the trick is to let her see it lots of times when she doesn't get the drops, and always gets the treats. Use a high value treat - something she does not normally get that she loves. Be calm. Don't get tense and approach this as a battle. Approach it as matter of factly as you can. [/QUOTE]
