Sandra,
Have your vet get the medicine compounded into a liquid form. They will put a beef broth flavoring to it and our dog seemed to like it for a while. My advice to you is make sure you get all the information you can from your vet as well as the ocologist, the ocologist we saw didn't like proxicam very much because of the side effects. Try the alternatives first, we did proxicam for a 2 week period and our beagle had developed ulcers along here digestive track which led her to stop drinking, eating and even barking. To our dismay our baby is now resting without any pain, not yet 24 hours and it still hurts. Keep up the fight and love your baby daily.
