A very nice younger couple brought their dog in for a routine exam. Jack was an awesome young, bouncy Jack Russell terrier with a mild skin infection. I discussed antibiotics for his skin infection as well as getting him started on flea preventative and heartworm preventative.
Me: Would you prefer a liquid antibiotic or tablets for Jack?
The couple looks at each other uncertainly
Me: The liquid would be put directly in his mouth or the tablet can be hidden in food if he's not a picky eater.
The look at each other again. Her: I guess we'll do the tablet. He's not a picky eater.
Me: Now, for the flea and heartworm preventative. Would you prefer a topical liquid or tablet?
Her: You're giving me too many choices!
Me: Okaay, I'll send you with the tablet.
