Now, she was nebulizing twice a day to help her with expectoration, but she had AWFUL ear pain, and her face hurt. I diagnosed a possible ear infection, which I usually opt not to treat with antibiotics if the pain is remedied with ibuprofen. I also diagnosed a possible sinus infection, based on where her face hurt if it was touched.
She had a little fluid in her ears, but she had a sinus infection. The doctor pulled out his phone, and was ready to send her medication information directly to the pharmacy, when he turned and asked "liquid or pills?
Quite confidently, and more than a little proud of herself she replied "PILLS!"
I don't think she was expecting this:
I'm not exactly sure who they think is taking these pills (the advil is in the picture for comparative purposes), but my first thought was some sort of supplement or medication for a very large four legged mammal -most likely tusked.
Right now she's rinsing her sinuses with some sinus wash, and getting ready to down her oversized caplet.
She's in her glory!

Sinus Wash?
Is that the "kinder, gentler" term for Nettie Pot {runs screaming in horror...}
Not you too!!!!!!!
Aarrrgggghhhh............
There's a picture of the Netipot on the box under "other products."
When the doctor gave us the sinus rinse, (a bottle with a whole in the cap so you can spritz the water up the nose until, as she so lovingly explains, "it comes out of the opposite nasal passage!") I wondered if she'd do it. I made it her choice I have nothing to do with it, she LOVES this kind of stuff!
I've taken those very pills before.
They're the only ones I couldn't swallow without water.
Sorry if that sounded too much like boasting, but it's actually just to make her more confident. If you can take normal sized pills, chances are you can take them without water too, it would just feel funny. So those pills aren't anything to be terrified of.
hey SLiM what are you boasting about? that you've had that pill or that you've had it stuck in your throat?
b.c.- i believe SLiM is referencing his ability to swallow most pills without water.
