If I lived next to you, I'd lasso that little critter and get him his drops in no time. I bet you could get a neighborhood kid to help out? Most kids are short on cash these days and would probably give the eye meds for $10 a week? I know my kids would jump at the chance for small jobs like that.

Is this a maintenance med or just until the eyes are better?

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**.

Sally, I tried to reply last night but it wouldn't go through.

I saved what I wrote but I guess you don't need to hear it now but wanted you to know I tried to post. I'm glad you worked it out okay!

I said:

Sally, I think the neighborhood's sweetest kid would be the answer. Someone gentle and kind that loves pets. Just like you do Sally girl.

I had so many animals I lost count. (sigh)

I know I can't care for one. It is sad, but sometimes they are more work than kids. Lol Even though I miss their company so much, and their everlasting love, I can't get another dog or cat.

Sorry I didn't read this until now, Sal ... been out of state and away from a computer for about 1.5 weeks.

So sorry for you and your little doggie. I'm glad to know he's getting a little easier to treat. After reading this thread you should have a bag of tricks up your sleeve!
