I haven't tried to get help. Pal and I are doing it on our own. It's like the blind leading the blind. It ain't easy...EEEK, but I'm doing it.
I actually got him to open his mouth for his pills today, by tickling him under his chin..LOL

He holds pretty still now for his eye drops. (I think it must feel good)
Thanks for all your helpful hints and your wonderful moral support. I know I couldn't do it without you.
Edit... oh and BTW, the suggestion of putting the pills in a yummy treat is great for most dogs, but Pal's persnickity...the little sh**.
