Any update on Daisy?

I was wondering the same but I didn't dare to ask....

Hah! I finally made it in! Sorry, I don’t do computery things much after I leave work. The www looks different on my phone, then forgot my password...  😖 

long story long; I showed up at the vet Friday just in time to hear everything the vet was telling bf - CLEAN MARGINS!! 🤩 Still have to wait a week for the biopsy... but I’m feeling good. 

Miss Daisy is the worst patient! I know, she’s in pain, feels like crap - and I’m a really patient person [with dogs] But this little diva cannot be tricked into taking pills! I tried turkey, baby food, hot dogs, pill pockets, grinding and mixing - told bf to safe cheese for tomorrow morning because I won’t be there for morning pills (was there allll day and poor Brick peed for sooo long when I got home (if I’d’ve known I would’ve timed him 🤣)) Finally had to do the barbaric “shove and hold” I literally got a butt cramp holding her head up waiting for her to swallow!! Four pills, more than an hour! 😅 #metmymatch

She looks pathetic, like a child’s well loved stuffie that’s been repaired, but stuffing is still coming out the cracks.

Thank you!!

Yay Daisy!! ❤️❤️❤️ Good luck with the pills @theonewiththethumbs 😂

Yay! Great news! Have you tried some doggy peanut butter?

Yay, Daisy!  I hope she feels better soon!

Thank you very much for your support!

Peanut butter won't work because as she's licking it off the roof of her mouth she just kinda flicks the pill out with her tongue.  The BF discovered he can use her raw grind "meatballs" to conceal the pills.  Not sure if the flavor overrides the smell..  but it's working!

Clean margins!  Yay - that is great news!  The fact that Daisy is being stubborn w/ her pills tells us she is alert, well and wanting to make her own decisions.  Ha -  Not that she's going to be able to do that.  Good on you for taking such patient care of her!!  Extra hugs to Brick for "holding it" and sharing you w/ Daisy.  😍  😍  😍 

@griff-mom we were talking yesterday about how the vet kept saying "i did my best"  and how unsettling it was...  but her needly test said grade 1 or 2 - so i'm thinking we're good.

I was really happy when i got there sunday and she trotted to the door, tail wagging, happy to see me - even tho i had tortured her the day before. lol

BF and i were eating fast food (i've been busy!) and i told him he is not allowed to give her french fries anymore! just... NO!!  but she's used to getting his french fries so she cried and cried...  i grabbed a handful of zukes and threw them all over the floor.

BF got mad.  He said i would never do anything so cruel to MY dogs.  uh, yea i would. and have!  I told him she has to get used to the cone, understand the cone, be one with the cone, or he's going to come home from work and find her stuck in a corner somewhere.  By the time i left, she was flipping treats off the floor and into her mouth.  I think she's doin' juuust fine!  😉 

Daisy must love a challenge!  I can just see her using that cone!  Tell her: Fries... bad...yuck   😛   Meds....good...yum!    😋 

i wish we would have gotten it on video! i don't know if she was able to do it again.. i just stood there with my mouth hanging open...  "omg! did you see that!  but did YOU SEE WHAT SHE DID!!"   🤣  🤣  🤣 

Ha!  My Jack Russell, Thistle, used to be able to flip out any and all pills that were disguised.  He was also incredibly strong in the jaw and could clamp that mouth shut so I couldn't get a pill in.  😉  What a challenge he was!
