| How else can I get Daisy to take her pill? I picked up a Capstar pill for her, and she needs it! She is itching like crazy. I tried putting it in some cheese, and she spit it out! its so tiny, so I know she can get it down at one time...but what else can I try?

| I was gonna say the cheese too. You could try putting it in some peanut butter and putting it in the roof of her mouth.

| I've tried putting it inside of a snausages treat. But again, Bella will eat anything! Try putting it inside her favorite treat.

| Just put the pill at the very back of her tongue. Hold her mouth shut and hold her head up at the same time until you know it's down.

I wish I could, but she doesn't take treats! I guess being int he kennel they were never given the opportunity to have them, so she wont take them! I just tried the peanut butter, and she spit the pill back out!!!!!! HELP!! Capstar is for fleas, starts working in about 2-3 hours....I got it at the vet.

| Have you tried putting the pill in the back of her mouth, closing her mouth with your hands, then gently massage her neck so she swallows? That's the way we get Yoda to take meds... |

| Not sure if this will work but with Samson I just break up a treat (biscuit or something hard) into pieces and put the pill with it. He ends up eating everything out of my hand including the pill. If she won't eat out of your hand maybe just try putting it all on the floor in a little pile. |

| It sounds like she is scared . Hold her for a minute and reassure her. Then open her mouth and drop it down her throat and hold her mouth closed while holding her head up (as if she is looking at the ceiling). Wait until she swallows it. You can't show her that you are frustrated, just be calm and gentle....she will swallow it. |
