[QUOTE="Star*, post: 458334, member: 4964"] Talk to your vet about peanut butter and some enteric (coated) aspirin or getting a prescription of Rymadil. At ten years old? Things happen....she's about 60ish...if she could walk around going OY vey? and you could hear her? She probably would. The enteric aspirin isn't something you can do ALL the time, but it's a little Mother's helper and if you dip a butter knife in a jar of DOG peanut butter (we get a jar or two just for them) and come out with a length of it - then dob the pills in the peanut butter and have her sit - then let her see them; and kinda rake the knife over her upper teeth? VOILA----medications go down like a breeze....they can't HELP but lick the peanut butter and the pills at the same time - DO NOT get crunchy peanut butter - it's too much get smooth. As far as what shes telling you? She could be saying ----- I'm achey , lonely need some reassurance that things are going to be okay - HEY how about another blanket this floor never USED to be this lumpy (I've found a baby crib mattress or a MAMASAN or PAPAsan cushion makes EXCELLENT EXCELLENT large dog beds - sew a cheap cover out of an old blanket and use as a duvet and then cover with a sheet for easy washing.) I need to go out I hear something you don't because even at 10 years old? My hearing is like 100 times better than yours can we just CHECK the house? Thanks. I feel better now that you checked too. I need a snack..got COOKIES? Keep a biscuit by the bedside OR ....my sneaky trick - a little butter bowl full of dog food and hand one piece out at a time LIKE biscuits. Hand to mouth calms them down then say OKAY everyone go NITE NITE. Momma has to get up in the morning make a nickle to buy the kibble and feed the babys (it's ALWAYS about them) Check paws - could be a burr, a tick, a chigger - a piece of gum, Check butt - could be constipation - do you watch her poo? Is she regular? Check butt - could be diarrahea - she could use a wipe with a warm cloth - something could be burning and she may need desitin too. How about hot? Is she a little warm? Put a fan on the floor for her and let her move later. How about cold? Throw her blankey (she DOES have her own baby blanket right???????) Throw it in the dryer and warm it up and cover her up, tuck her in and kiss her goodnight. Then say ALL GODS puppies go sleepy. Check toes - are all her nails in tact? Broken nails are painnnnnnnnnnnful. They do grow back - but ow. Check her teeth - did she crack a tooth? That would need removed....see a vet. Olivia had a stick stuck in the back of her roof of her mouth - I have no idea how it stuck there but we check everyone daily all the time for ticks - and check for those...ear flaps - ear mites......pads of feet for burrs....thorns ---rips....
