Still not completely himself, but he's trying to be LOL. I also think his mouth is hurting a bit (not chasing and grabbing the ball as much) but he won't let anyone (including me) near it to check. No way. No how. Roll o Friday!! (Thanks for all the good wishes, eveyone!!!!
)

he was fairly perky this morning, but still a bit off. Not drinking as much though, so hopefully not as dehydrated.

He and Miller really are separated twins. Miller wouldn't let anyone touch his feet. He would tolerate looking in his mouth but not crazy about it. The only time we could trim his toenails was when he was under for his dental Originally Posted by Lisa

FWIW? I dunno. Perhaps you've already tried this? ... Originally Posted by Lisa

They learn that HVT's will always follow yuckiness they must endure. So they let us poke & prod. And as soon as their feet are returned to the ground, they face us with tails wagging, for their HVT. Yummy! Maybe it'll work for you?
This also worked on (our newbie) Lizzy yesterday, whom hates being picked up, esp. inverted to belly-up. So extra HVT's were offered while I did so, and she happily let me. She calmed down, cuz HVTs kept flowing. Same thing happened at bath time, which the SPCA told us she hates.
Yes, it's embarrassing that my pockets are always full of treats, 24/7. Just in case.
