Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Popsicles worked for us. If she is more than a week post op, she may be tasting the drops. Chloe tells me they are awful. Can you just do it while she is sleping? Morning and evening? Chloe has been doing this so long, it is almost part of our bedtime routine to give some sort of drop! Not her favorite thing to do, but she will do it for a pop, or chocolate:) Now that she is 8, she prefers quarters.

She says it does not hurt, and her actions dictate that, but we know we must keep it clean and get the drops in. We have tried rewards, etc. We have to physically restrain her unless she is sleeping, then we can sneak the drops in. Suggestions are appreciated. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
