I will start from today's score
1 for Leo and 0 for meds . Mine Ernie is just too strong. I was at the Vets today and got him 3 daily doses of deworming meds. For some time I have guessed that I will probably not be able to open his mouth and today I found out that it is almost impossible. Ernie is no fool, will not eat treats with even a smear of that med. I mean big red strawberry and cucumber... nothing, after giving him some on it he refuses to eat anything off my hand. After that I used force approach. Done it many times, but mostly on my Russian, Ernie yes.. but only when he was little... In comparison Russian is a piece of cake...It was a massacre. I managed to squeeze half of the dose in his mouth after 20 min struggle with a toothpick (not sharp). I have to say that I feel defeated because he was all red on the neck had swollen eyes and looked very poorly. I will greatly appreciate any tricks on how to open mouth of a stubborn Leopard. Thanks
