My horse has a large problem with taking oral meds. my theory is that he has had some nasty stuff shot down his throught, and this is just an after math. When you go to give him anything, he raises his head as high as it can ( which is high, he's a very tall horse) and if you insist on giving him the meds, he throughs his head around and does everything he can to get you away form his mouth. He doesn't do this to be mean. i understand that this is just him thinking that whatever we are going to give him is going to taste absolutly terrible - even if in reality it tastes fine.
if you want to check his teeth, he'll act like your finger is oral meds and make a fuss. Although the other day i got my finger in his mouth on both sides...but that was just along his cheek to feel the outsides of his teeth
now the thing is, i don't know how i go about fixing this problem. i've had the idea of getting some runny apple sauce and give that to him -- as a way to show him that not everything given like that is terrible. but really i have no clue if this will work lol
anybody else have any ideas that might help?
