Sal,
I can no longer treat my animals (4 cats, 1 dog) for fleas and ticks monthly and getting the family to help is a pain also. We live next to woods full of deer, DH and the dog both got Lyme's at the same time following a walk in the woods, Bean and dog ticks fall off animals in house all the time, so these pet meds are necessary. This is hard stuff, I feel your pain. I absolutely can't do it, and nagging the others shouldn't be so hard! But it is! I set everything up but still have to badger with all my nagging skills to get it done. I feel your pain.

Awwww, I feel so bad for you Sal. Have you found anyone to help? Do you have neighbors you talk to that would be willing to help or maybe one of their kids? Otherwise, you may be better off letting him stay at the vet. They most likely would only charge a boarding fee since he only needs meds.

Either way

Do you know anyone from your local church? Maybe a teenager would like to make a couple of bucks by coming over a couple of times a day.....or even a senior citizen whose able to get around well. It wouldn't hurt to call and put the word out. Also, maybe your vet knows someone who'd be willing to help out. If I were there I'd do it (for free!). Just be sure to have your construction crew on site when I come by!

That's it! Have the construction crew take off their shirts and do it.

You don't come accross as weak in the mind Sally so it's a pain, but I know you'll do what it takes. I'm paralyzed C6.5, MS progressing, osteoperosis & a colostomy bag. Feel better now?
