[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 573157, member: 84"] Janet, I'll see if I can crush up the pill and stick it into peanut butter or send Travis for that squirt cheese soon as he's up and about. I couldn't give it to her yesterday simply because water was causing her to retch too much, vet didn't want it coming right back up on her and not working, not to mention the additional pain of the retching. I don't know if I'll be successful getting anything down her at this point. I can't get her out of the crate and I couldn't get her to even drink this morning. If I don't see some improvement (at least getting her to drink) by the time the vet opens I'm going to call them. She stopped licking the area at all. I think it just hurts too much. Not drinking is not good. I don't want her to get dehydrated and I don't know how long before a dog gets dehydrated. I'd just give her the pill the normal way but with her in the crate I can't get the right angle to make sure it goes down her throat. The crate was her idea. I just had it ready for her so it would be as comfy as possible. Unless the other animals are just too curious and bugging them to death, I let a newly fixed dog pretty much pick where they want to camp out. Her final choice was the crate and she's not moving evidently. While she might not be thrilled with potty runs......well, she does need to move around some and I can take her via the back door so she doesn't have to deal with steps, straight shot in and out just a bit of a walk to the grass. Maggie will not go in the house, period. If I can get her to take some water this morning I think I'll try crushing the pill up and putting it into peanut butter. I dunno though, I've never had success with that method with any dog I've owned. They smell the pill and refuse to eat it. (guess they all had good noses) I'm hoping she's getting hungry enough it will work. Got to do something though because her pain level is pretty darn high right now. Think I'll even skip the water and just try the peanut butter trick. I think she'll be a lot better if I can get her pain level down some. Poor baby. :( [/QUOTE]
