I'd have to hold his head super tight in order to get a pill down his throat. On a few occasions, his pupils would "tick" back and forth like a clock. Not sure of the connection between the ear ailment and the eye movement, but it was disturbing to see.Tamara Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725262301091012950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-79857090224559099832015-04-16T15:30:52.270+01:002015-04-16T15:30:52.270+01:00Glad I live in today's world!
