Martini and her medication. [View all]

The past few days, it's been relatively easy giving Martini her pill. I took her in the bathroom, opened her mouth, she struggled a little, but I got it in and rubbed her throat to help it go down. Very little muss, very little fuss. But guess what I found on the floor right outside the bathroom door? About four or five pills! That little scamp lulled me into a false sense of security by making me think she was swallowing her pills and then she spit them out as soon as I opened the door! Once again, she has outsmarted me.

So Monday, I will call the vet so I can order the ear goop. Even though I spent money on the pills and the goop will be expensive, I really have no choice. She has to have this medicine. High blood pressure is nothing to fool around with.

Score: Martini 1; MIButterfly 0. She may think she's won this round, but she has another think coming.
