Oh the horrible scratches from Skadoosh when dosing her with meds, she actually even bit me towards the last couple of days. Yup, dealing with some of that. Apparently, the first time was as easy as it was only because he didn't know what was coming. Three doses & my hands look like they went through a blender. And, she's still giving me the cold shoulder. Sorry to hear that. I'm liberally bribing Arthur afterward, so I hope to avoid having a long recovery of trust. He is already acting like a beaten stepchild right afterwards Well good luck with Arthur anyway. Thanks, I think I'll need it. Hopefully they flavored the medicine for you. Nope Fiona took hers- oh heck in the beginning they were both fighting dryer lint. But as the process was repeated daily, I got better at anticipating their moves and by they last 3days, Fiona would only put up a slight stuggle, and then just lay there, with her mouth wide open, like, 'get this over with". can only pray Arthur gets there soon. Since the first dose he has been fighting me so much. For the third dose I added a little extra to account for how much I guessed he end up wearing. Dot fought less but not as complacent as her sister. Dot + Complacent does not compute.

Hutch, take that little dryer lint ball and wrap him up like a burrito with his head sticking out and then medicate him.
Can't have you looking like you got into a fight with a rabid raccoon.

Yeah, I tried the baritto method as well, it worked okay for the first couple to few days. She started resisting as she started to feel a little better I guess. Her meds was flavored, and I offered whatever she would take for comforting, she still hates me.
Although, last night I held her in my hand, which means she sat in my hand as I fed her freeze dried mealiies.

Hutch seeing as I have treated more gliders than I can remember I am going to explain how I do it.
I get them in a pouch with their head sticking out, I hold them with their back against my stomach. Then using my left hand I put a thumb over the head and a finger under the chin to immobilize the head.
I then wiggle the syringe into the side of the mouth to get the little link ball to open, I place the meds to the side of the mouth to avoid them aspirating the meds.

sounds like what I am trying to accomplish, except I've been using a fleece blanket instead of a pouch. I guess I need more time to refine the technique. Part of my trouble is I'm afraid of hurting him, I have to hold him so tight & he tries so hard to keep his mouth shut. I really appreciate the detailed description, it helps. I'll keep at it.

Sending well wishes for treatment to do the trick first round, we don't want either of you going through extended ordeal of meds.

I'm glad to here you have figured out "The grip" it takes to hang on to him... I chalked the issues I had to fear of hurting them. Dot and Fiona hissed while pottying for quite awhile after their UTI cleared up. They didn't seem in pain. That's been 2years ago, and occasionally they hiss still. Maybe it's just a relief sound. And yes they each have been tested 3 times since and was given a good bill of health. Yay!

Well at least she wasn't biting you to leave poor Arthur alone.

I bet she was there for moral support. Kissing him and telling him it will be OK.

Yesterday was Arthur last day on the meds, but he seems to be a little unsure about things now. When I was giving out treats tonight, he actually went to hide under the wheel! Well, not going to allow that, I opened the door & held one out so he could see it, but had to come & get it. Arthur didn't hesitate, but scurried right on over. He solidly grabbed on to my fingers with both paws & ate the yoggie & pine nut I was offering.
He also refused to let go. I tried to wiggle my fingers free, but he only held on harder, eating directly from my fingertips. Once the treats were gone, I again tried to get him to let go by rubbing his toes between the fingers he was holding. He looked right at me... then bit me. Not too hard, but I did feel it.
After a loud "OW!" & blowing on him, he released me. He keeps that attitude up & he'll only be able to watch others get the goodnight treats. Turd.
