Recovering - June 8, 2011

I was concerned about Poutine not pooping last night. But this morning, when I took him for his morning pee, he squatted and a few healthy poop came put. I was so elated! Funny... never thought I would get excited about poop.

My battle of pill popping continues. It took me 30 minutes to give Poutine his pill this morning, and tonight, he put up the biggest fight and threw his head around every time I tried to force his mouth open. For a tiny thing, his strength and stubbornness is unbelievable. He simply refused to sit still and open his mouth, and that was that. Finally, I dissolved the pill in water and squirt it into his mouth with a syringe, which created lots of drool and foam from the corners of his mouth. *sigh* Lord help me! This is worse than poking a needle in my eye.


Those BIG evil pills!

Poutine's standing and walking a lot better

The redness is gone
