All hail the mighty cream cheese!
« on: May 02, 2008, 10:16:31 am »
Thank you so much BPO for suggesting I coat Sierra's pills in peanut butter and cream cheese.  She isn't too fond of peanut butter in general, but the cream cheese is a different story all together.  I was able to put 4 pills in one lump of cream cheese and she swallowed it without even tasting I think.  LOL!  I was able to give her 7 pills this morning in less than 2 minutes!  The hot dog trick took a good 10 minutes of coaxing.

I bow before the almighty cream cheese...

Sierra usually does that.  Especially her fish oil pills - she loves those!  I was very suprised that she refused to take these.  At least I found something that works because she seems to feel so much better already.

See. I'm a reverse psychology kind of person. I cut Miles' glucosamine pills in half on the kitchen counter like it's for me, and I don't want him to have it. I walk out of the kitchen and pretend like I forgot I left it on the counter, and then he jumps up and gets it. As soon as he sees me, he swallows it whole. Works like a charm  ;). Although, with all the pills Miss Sierra has to take, I'm pretty sure it would take up the whole day!

Glad the cream cheese is working!

I will definitely have to try the cream cheese thing with Maddox!  He won't take his benadryl in anything nowadays.  Glad you had success :)

wow, sounds like she is on alot of pills.  yeah, my guys would be tired of opening their mouths for that many too.

Keiko and Posey are one pills twice a day but I just pop them in their mouths and they are great at taking them.  On rare occasion Posey might spit one out but never happens on the second attempt.
