Thanks ladies. Well, I ordered the paste from horse.com. It was really cheap so I figured I'll order it just in case my local vet does not have the stuff, at least I am ahead of the game. I am having it next day delivery so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. I figure even if the vet has it, well I will have this on hand in case I need it again.
The peanut butter is a good idea. The only thing is, will he lick all the peanut butter out? That or maybe if I mix the stuff in a glob of the peanut butter and put in on the nut, or no that may be too messy. I also was thining about putting it in a piece of cookie ( vanilla with cream in the middle), just a tiny piece. I know that sweets are not good for them, but maybe juts to get the medicine down him. The peanut butter is a good idea though. I just hope he would notice the peanut butter in there and not grab the nut shell in a hurry and bury it. You ladies are the best, thanks for all your help with this. This is all new to me. It all started last fall when I had this squirrel come up to me in my back yard and stand up and put out his hand. I thought it was so cute. He then did it again the next day so I went inside and got him a walnut. He took it and ever since we have been feeding him, but now we have some of his friends from the neighborhood ( 7 ) of them that come for food
I fell in love them and they are the sweetest things. I am just so worried about this little guy. It is suppose to be 25 degrees in a couple days and it is going to be freezing at nighttime. We have had a very mild winter here in Chicago this year. It has been staying in the mid thirties to fourties. We even had 60 degrees last week one day. I am praying it stays mild for his sake. But still, 26 is cold if you are bald.
