Resolution-Here are my findings. The local CVS and Walgreen's produced no Nature's Resource CranAssure; however, I was able to find Nature's Bounty Triple Strength Cranberry. I have looked online and the only place I could even get CranAssure was MedExpress.com. When I tried to add it to my cart, the site said it was unavailable. So tonight the girl got the insides of the gel caps squeezed through a garlic press, pressed garlic, grapes, and tiny pieces of walnut....she did get some oatmeal, too. The oatmeal (minimal and cooked to mush) couldn't be helped because that is the only way I could entice her to eat the other things (etc, grape skins, walnut pieces)....at least the things that couldn't be put in her beak with an oral syringe. So, I will give this a go for 5 days. I will keep you posted on my progress, but I have to ask (and please remember I'm new)...how do you put a whole gel cap down into their crop. I keep reading about people who syringe feed and making sure you get the location just right, but she fights me when I try to open her mouth. I kept trying to do that when I was attempting to check her throat. Whenever she does attempt to pick up a piece of something, most times she shakes her head and the piece goes flying. Thanks again for your input. This may be an exercise in futility, but I'm on it.
