You could tilt his head up, gently open his jaws, drop the pill to the back of his throat, close his mouth and hold it closed until he sticks his tongue out (means he's swallowed).
Hold the top jaw with your thumb and middle or first fingers, hold the pill in the other hand between your thumb and first finger, then with your ring finger, gently pry open his mouth, then without letting go, move the pill over his open mouth and drop it in, and hold his mouth closed till you see his tongue stick out.
I would just reuse the same pill until he gets it. As it's a chewable, it doesn't matter what shape it's in.
My Sapphire is a junky. She loves medicine, I always have to push her away to give Tink her meds. Don't have a clue why, I've only had her on meds twice in 2 years. If Tink spits out some of her Lactulose, Sapphire will lick it off her beard. What characters! |
