Pills in Cheese


This sweet girl gave us a scare this week.  All of a sudden she began to have these strange, brief episodes where she would lose muscle control and fall down and twitch a little.  Kind of reminded me of a mild seizure, but not really.  It happened every 5 to 10 minutes.

After a trip to the vet with some blood work and thorough examination, she is being treated for meningitis.  Less than 5 hours after the steroid shot she received, she was much better, thankfully.


Of course, she will be taking pills for awhile.  And our darling Zip is on three different medications for Hyperthyroidism and heart disease.  Twice a day, I feel like a pharmacist.  A pharmacist who dispenses her pills cheese.


These two are big fans of our cheese routine.  These humans want to give us cheese twice a day?  Okay.  One of Zoey's pills is quite large.  I was sure she would spit it out, but apparently she does little actual chewing, because it goes down without incident.  She just appreciates that she's getting such a large piece of cheese to go with it, I guess.
