I've had to give Prince meds for his collapsed trachea for amost two weeks. I wish I had tried this on day one. I boil a hotdog (Nathan's all beef) for about 10 minutes. (I do that to get a lot of the sodium out). I cut the end, scoop out a little of the inside, put the medicine in, and give it to him. I follow up with another small piece(without med) of hotdog quickly to make sure the first went down. He gobbles it down so fast that he does not realize that meds are in it. He's happy because he thinks he's getting a treat, and totally unstressed. That makes me very happy. Try this!!! It works. Keep the left over hotdog in the fride for the rest of the meds or periodic snacks.
Let me know how it turns out.
Of course, let the hotdog cool before giving it to him!! ;~)
