That's good. :o) Nikki is so funny the times I have to give her meds
with the syringe. (Sometimes she will eat them mixed with sourcream,
sometimes she just refuses, and then I have to mix the meds with water
and give them to her with the syringe.) While I prepare the syringe,
Nikki slinks under the bed. I leave the syringe ready on the counter,
and then just sit down and watch TV, ignoring Nikki completely. Nikki
comes out of hiding and slinks past me a couple of times, keeping just
out of reach. Then back to hiding under the bed. It's as if she's
saying, 'hey, weren't you supposed to run me down and catch me?' The
third or fourth time she lets me catch her. I give her the meds, and
then she slinks back under the bed, but comes back immediately for her
after-medicine treats. She knows exactly what is going on the whole
time, she'd just much rather skip the medication and go directly to the
treat-giving. She has to make that final trip under the bed to show me
she is displeased with having been forcefully medicated, but she can't
stay away in case she misses the treats.
