Too Many Choices

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.
