can you ask your vet if the meds come in liquid form? If so then you can use a syringe and squeeze it down. Othewise maybe crush a pill and put it in butter or peanut butter. Thatyou can stick on the roof of her mouth. I know how sad this is for you..........the vet may have suggestions. Sometimes have to resort to a shot instead. Maybe her mouth hurts? Can you get a baby asprin down her throat?

If she stops eating altogether you may need to take her in to get a vitamin boost or something to make her want to eat, but maybe she is in pain. Best to talk to the vet and find out whats going on as soon as you can. Then just give her lots of love.

So sorry, its so hard as we all know. Nothing we can say either that helps but I am sure I speak for all when I say that we do know how you feel and sympathize.

I am so sorry to hear this. Our babies depend on us so much, it's sometimes hard to know what to do. Definitely check with your vet, though. And I am thinking of you.

I really hope you have been able to talk to your vet. I wonder if its hurting her too much to open her mouth, could be something in her jaw, or her teeth. Do check when you can because you can get soup or something down her if she needs to eat light. Chicken soup in a seringe maybe with asprin?
I so much want things to get better for you so that you can have more time. Truth is there is never enough time is there.

thanks for all of your words and caring. it is really helping !
early wed morning i just pushed a rimadyl into the good side of gracie's mouth..im hoping it was the rimadyl that lessed the pain becuase gracie ate lots yesterday... i mushed her soft food in warm water, making it like a thick soup. she ate all, and "asked" for more.. did you see me smiling??? she ate like that 3 times yesterday. i had her meds hidden in soft pasta from a soup, and also this morning..
she isn't making cries from pain, so im glad she's giving us "more time".. i will keep you posted..i know the end is near, lots of tears are being shed . thanks for this amazing site, where friends of poodles, share and listen, laugh, empathize and sympathize.

I am glad you found us as well. I lost the love of my life 4 years ago. Wow, so long ago. I thought I would die of it. Its hard to think now how much it hurt because we have 3 more wonderful poodles. They never replace those you loose but they sure help bring back the smiles and they start to fill in the holes the others leave. I did not think I would recover from that loss but I did. So believe me when I say that I know how you are feeling. I hope that when the time comes you are brave and hold Gracie as she slips away so that you are the last thing she sees. Its so peaceful, nothing to dread and the last act of love for your girl. I have friends who could not face that and just left their dog with the vet. I could not do that and have been with each and every one. I never regretted that and once I saw how peaceful it is I was happy that I shared that last moment. Its nothing to fear. In itself death is as much of a miracle as birth. I can not explain what I mean by that but well...............sometimes living is harder. Buttons death was freedom for her at least. She was such a brave soul. I did not know I could love anyone or anything that much. Now the ones I have now.......Bridget being small will always seem a baby and that will be so hard when that time comes, I dread it. Bodicea is so sweet that I will not be able to stand that either. Bijou, well she is a pain in the butt but is getting closer to me now a days, getting pushy and worming her way in...........as they all do in the end. Who would believe what a bundle of fuzz can do to the human heart haha.
