Clever Franklin!!
By any chance is the medicine that disgusting strawberry amoxicillin? Why on earth does a drug company think animals want strawberry flavoring?
Elvis nearly amputated my arm when I tried giving it to him. For only the second time in my cat medicating history, I had to resort to disguising it in people tuna, the only thing with a strong enough taste and smell. Luckily he didn't notice he was eating pink tuna!!
Anyhow.. glad to hear he is recovering...

After all these years, I've got this getting medicine into even the most reluctant patient down to a science 
Run PMF, run hard, and run fast if you ever become a patient.. cuz Sci knows how to get that medicine in!!!!
On the other hand, maybe stick around if she does that because:
the furballs here know that with every "bad" thing that must occur there comes something "good" --
Nice, trip into your house.. Sci.. I love your tales..

I remember when my cat's liver failed, and I had to force-feed her. YUK. It's not a pleasant memory.
But thank you for sharing yours, as always

I am guaranteed a marvelous read when I see those words....."(A Tiny Tale)", and this is another example of marvelous!
I was laughing so hard at the thought of the medicine "moustache" and his wiping-off process! So many times I've seen the pink liquid squished back through teeth into a foaming pink caricature of a smile. It's too bad you can't pop a pill into Mr Franklin, but I imagine his bone situation prohibits that.
"The mommy song"............. 
You have such a great way with words, sci! ~*~

When we had our rabbits, I always loved the talkers...even if they were angry grunts. Rabbits are usually so quiet. I would have to inject them with ivermectin between the shoulder blades if they got lice. That was always fun.  Cutting their incisors if their teeth were not aligned was always a real treat, too, AND their nails. We were up to 75 rabbits at one time, all in separate cages except for the kits. That was a LOT of cage cleaning, feeding and changing of water bottles. I kind of miss have a bunny around once in awhile...but not that much. Bless you for what you do...and feisty Franklin T.

Hm, I always used a towel to wrap them up in. Of course, I am talking about a cat.
Thank you for a story to go with my morning coffee!

It wasn't long ago that I complained of a headache...
Take an aspirin...
No, it's ok honey, I'm ok...
I said, take an aspirin...
No sugarnutbutt, I'm fine, seriously. I'll be ok..
10 seconds later I found myself on my back, my mouth held open by a pair of stainless steel salad tongs, Sci standing over me, two small tablets pinched between her thumb and forefinger, my arms and legs flailing, gasping for air, a sound I can't identify with words escaping my pie hole......
My headache went away....
