Bella just got spayed last Thursday. Once we got home I had to give her the same pain pill. I was able to crush it and put it into canned food which miraculously she did eat. But I had to give her liquid antibiotics. Which was hell. She kept flipping out wouldn't allow us near her mouth. We got alot of it on our clothes. When the Vet called on Saturday to check up on her. I mentioned the liquid med problems and she laughed and said they had the same problem with her there. She medtioned I could get it in pill form. I wonder if you could get the pain meds in liquid form. Good Luck
