Good morning!

I was able to get the pills into Cooper using your technique @Bron and Sheba (GA) Followed it up with some water and a treat, and we were good! The pill shooter kind of intimidates me LOL. I think I will do it this way and add gelcaps once they get here.

Cooper did not really eat much of his dinner last night, but seems to be happy to eat breakfast this morning. He really has not been himself lately. I usually have to check in multiple times a day to "remind" him to eat, and bring his plate to him in his bed. He can get out of bed just fine, but it's almost like he can't be bothered sometimes. And climbs right back in after eating a bit. My poor boy. Vet tomorrow though!

Good morning Gabrielle!
Good job giving pills to reluctant Cooper!
I am so bad at it - I'll make a note of Bron's technique in a case I need to do it in the future.

One more day! Hope you will find the answer and set the treatment plan rolling to help him!

I’m glad the pill technique worked. It’s a worry about his eating.
Push for the ultrasound. Please let us know how you go

Have you scrolled down Coppers SS lately? Remember when I showed you some SS and said when you reach the best dose it will look like the green/blue SS.?

Yes, I was just looking at it yesterday in amazement! And you know, he hasn't really missed a meal--not lately at least. Besides last night, I've always been able to get him to eventually eat his meals and yet his numbers haven't gotten too out of hand on the 3.5U. I'm very surprised!

It can be hard, especially when they give you the look like, "Excuse you, that was rude." LOL

Good job with the pilling technique, Gabrielle. Hoping Cooper is more willing to eat. Paws crossed. Good luck tomorrow at the vet.
We will be sending you positive vibes
