I went to the vet Friday for a check-up. I don't like going there and I said, "Mama, Mama; I want out" the whole 4 miles there! I think maybe it's because he keeps giving Mama more capsules for me to take! Dr. Hay liked the progress my sore has made, even though I set-back the healing with my scratching episode. Just as I thought would happen, I got more capsules to take! I have to keep taking two capsules every day until my sore is completely healed! Even after that, there is a weaning off the medicine process. I'm glad Mama has a good technique to help me swallow my pills! She puts her arm around my neck, says, "Open Sesame" to encourage me to open my mouth, uses a pill popper to put the capsule in my mouth, puts her hand under my mouth to keep it closed and then uses a wet cotton ball to give me a little water to wash the capsule down with. I've been taking capsules now for 6 weeks and it appears that before I'm totally done that it could be another month!!! The good news is that I will be all better soon!
