2DogsFarm: I wonder if Wickliffe’s flavoring agents are different from those used at Wedgewood? If the firocoxib doesn’t work for whatever reason, will check into liquid Banamine under the tongue.
Amberly – That’s one I had not heard before. I will try something fizzy!
endlessclimb – I have used a dosing syringe with the long tip. Believe it or not, when we had green grass (that was a long time ago in northern CO), she would NOT try it after being medicated. She just stands there, staring at me and drooling.
frugalannie – great ideas. So far, I’ve been able to get her to try anything once, but after the medicated product arrives, she is resistant. Will have to think of something that coats her mouth that isn’t too awful. Maybe she would like creme de menthe.
sascha – I got the go ahead to try firocoxib last night (with vet via text). Fingers crossed that it works.
awaywego – thanks for that tip. I like to know what is new and available. I found out about the acetaminophen by hanging out on the Horse & Hound boards.
Shelbytwohorse – GMTA – I was actually considering rectal administration. Didn’t know there was a transdermal patch for cattle for anything. That’s interesting.
NaturallyHappy – Haven’t tried the Woof Wears yet. I bought Clouds and then sprang for the wonderfully inexpensive (lol) Soft Rides with several different inserts. I have tried a combination of carriers with no meds, then meds, then no meds and she starts to refuse them because she knows they are all a trick to poison her.
