Ordinary Day

Are you giving the thyroid meds in broken up pills? I use the 5 mg pills for Heidi and give 1/4 at night and 1/8 in mornings. We refined the dosage based on blood tests and she doesn't need much. But there are 10 mg pills also available. I give them in "cookies" which are Friskies soft treats where I've gouged out the center with a toothpick and stuffed the pill in the center. Then I turn it over and press it over the crumbs on the counter to pick them up and cover the pill. She loves them and looks forward to "cookie time". Sometimes she'd let the pill portion fall out when eating it, so lately I've been putting a drop of water on top of the pill to soften and break it up inside the treat before covering it up.

I could never get Hiedi to take the pink anti-biotic stuff. Once when she was on antibiotics, they gave me a clear liquid that I could mix in with canned food and she didn't notice it.
