Do you ever have that time in your life where you feel someone or something is testing your faith, strength and will to keep carrying on....

I feel that way right now.... If you can imagine what it looks like to see a 52 year old man cry, I can send you a picture....

My son who is in the Maryland air national guard, just came home and told me that his unit is being placed on active duty and will be shipped out to the Middle East this October....his name was on the list to go....

I am ex military. I know how it is and the possibility to be sent into harms way. But he is my son, and I love him so much.....

I cannot get a break...

Oh my goodness David. I am at a loss for words. I just don't know what to say. I am so sorry. I am just so very sorry. Praying for you David and of course your son.

I'm sorry...I know you're nervous and scared. However, I want to say thank you to you and your son. You both are very brave for doing what you did and what he's doing...more brave than most of us ever could hope to be.

I wish, Sam. Nope, none of the four she has to take tonight. I'm so sad & frustrated.
Thank you for thinking of us.

Awww no!!!! I wish I had some advice but I am sure you have tried everything! How very frustrating!!! Makes me sad too :(
Is it a pill? Can you grind it into a powder and slip tiny amounts into bits of something she likes to eat. Instead of putting all the pill in once piece , perhaps do tiny amounts in several pieces. Hopefully she won't notice it this way?

But you've probably already done that I' m sure.

It must just be because she feels so unwell, and that she stressed. Because she typically takes her pills pretty well for me. The only other time I've struggled so badly was when she had liver disease.
And this is so detrimental to her well-being, I'm at my wits end.
Yes, I've tried peanut butter and cream cheese tonight. Cutting them up into smaller bits. She won't even entertain them.
After almost 2 hours of trying, we mashed them up and added a little bit of sugar and water and put them into a syringe, unfortunately the syringe was too big and I couldn't get it into her mouth far enough and she got most of it on her body. We're all so stressed right now. And she's breathing too fast for her own good so we just need to quit for tonight.
Thank you for your ideas, appreciate them ❤️ Going to call the vet tomorrow.

I know this method is yucky but we need to guarantee they get the meds so when all else fails I use the method at approx 57secs into this video . Do it quickly and smoothly and there is no stress for either of you.
