Update on Tank

[theparrisfive]

Tank is doing lots better! He seems to be more active now and hes no longer limping. He is now finished with the antibiotic rinse but is still on antibiotics till Monday for his infection. He hasn't had a accident for 2 nights now and the hubby even forgot to take him out the other night. His bowels are completely normal now so i figure that probably helps and he probably feels better with his shaft infection being treated. Hes now been on his new diet for 3 weeks and hes no longer stinky tank. We figure that between the normal bowels and that, the limited ingredient/grain free diet is working for him. He is still scratching his face like crazy though but according to the vet that can take 4 weeks or more to clear up since his allergy did a number on his skin so i have high hopes that that will be a thing of the past soon too. My husband decided to try to hid tanks pill in his glycosomine treat last night to see if we could get it in him that way we wouldn't have to struggle with him to take it and it worked!!!! Tank did give daddy a really weird look after he chewed it up though . So we shall see if it works again tonight. My money is on no lol!

That's so great that tank is doing better.. And yes we have problems giving lex his allergy pill lol. We hide it in cheese and now when I give it to him he will chew and get his tongue working in there and then he spits at least 1 sometimes 2 out! We have figure that turkey meat helps w him not spitting it back out.

Glad he's doing better. I usually use cream cheese for pills since it's the only thing that'll work. Now he comes running when he hears me opening the pill bottles. Also leaves me a nice big puddle of drool while he sits patiently.

Ice cream and cream cheese....both great pill poppin' ideas. Thanks! I've been using yogurt - but it's so messy......

Glad to hear Tank is doing better.
When we have to give Stella a pill (heart worm or Benadryl), we do the old "switcheroo"
Take 10 or so pieces of kibble, start feeding by hand, one by one and around piece 6, give the pill. She hasn't caught on to that yet!!
