Ok, I had to start giving Roo thyroid meds a few days ago, she don't like getting pilled but I think she may be starting to get used to it.
Anyway, the pills are very tiny and she only gets half of one twice a day.
I gave her last dose for today about a half an hour ago and she ate some food afterward. About 5 minutes after that I noticed she threw her food up and checked to see if her pill was in the food, I didn't find a sign of it in the food....but ...I did find half of a pill on the floor close to it...it was dry and clean looking though, so I don't know if it's the one she had tonight or she spit out her earlier pill and I didn't notice. I wound up throwing it away, because I thought it may have been from before (maybe even from last night) .
I do watch her for about 10 - 15 seconds after I give her the pill with my hand under her mouth in case she didn't swallow it and spits it out. I guess I'll have to watch her a bit longer.
So my question is ...Did I do the right thing in throwing that half of pill out. I didn't want to take a chance and over dose her.
