not so yummy meds

we are very thankful that we were finally able to get Ruby's medicine for her! we were warned by the doc and my sister (a pharmacy tech) that it was a very strong peppermint taste to try and cover up the horrible taste of the meds itself, which only made it worse, and they were right. She DOES NOT like it at all, but she doesn't cry and has only spit out a little bit. These horrible faces only last until she swallows it, then she's all better. She's only had two doses, but it has already started reducing her gagging, especially while she's sleeping. She only has to take it a few days, then we can stop it and see if she's gotten better. If so she doesn't have to take more, if not, we try another few days. I'm praying her flap matures the next few days and she can stop taking it. I don't enjoy seeing my pretty girl making such icky faces!
