Dave - we have 2 adopted rescue dogs and both have been 90% there or thereabouts for the last couple of years. Rasta has been with us 9 years now and is stubborn so will respond to instructions, as per training, if she feels like it. Bonzo, now about 8, has been with us 5 years and had such a dodgy start he's still very nervous of new people and new things. He can do his basic commands but nt when he's panicking about something probably very trivial.
They have, with care on our part, taken to our two kittens very well and now play and romp very happily but Bonzo trembled with fright for days at first.
Took them both to the vet today for their annual jabs plus more worming and flea and tick stuff. Both went into drama queen mode because Bonzo is like that and Rasta has some insect bites on her elbow and didn't want to be shaved and cleaned and treated. Embarrassing!
Interestingly, the vet tells me that worming treatments work best and for longer if given in food at the full moon. 4 days too late this time but I'll try it next time and see.
Meanwhile, Rasta has eaten her dinner carefully leaving the all in one worm/flea/tick lozenge so I cut it up and buried it in kitten food which meant she ate half of it but managed to leave the rest. It is now hidden in some cheese sauce she'll get at bedtime. Contrary, cunning critter.
Barley and Berry are very good at leaving the tablets when eating them in their own food. They like a little bit of corned beef hash,i put it in that, it went down in no time.
Common folk!!! cheeky. My Hubbies dog, we used to put the pills down her throat in the end, this was things like anti-biotics, she would hack them back. My last cat would do the same, will try the liqiud cheese route, cant understand it though, he always been happy to jus take the drontal. Hubby thought he was having a job eating so I cooked fresh cod, hubby still thought it was because he had trouble eating, (hes having teeth cleaned under GA next week) left the cod, cooked chicken breasts, Huh, he ISNT having problems eating them!
Nanny Beach, if he's still having problems eating when he has his teeth cleaned. You will have to tell the Vet. They won't use GA if he's not well. It could be fatel.
OK ...so , picture this ....a little Yorkie ....14 years old ....who lives most of his life in an apartment downtown Moscow .....weekends are spent at our dacha outside Moscow.......he loves winter .......hates the summer because he comes up against the five cats of MIL (mother-in-law) ...who lives here and manages the place for us......he also hates swimming ........here he is waiting for us to come back from a swim......the second pic is one of the terrible five.....looks like he is telling us something
