Ellie likes to do that too. And I hate putting my finger so far back, but that's life I suppose. Some of the pills were a little big for her and she hates being pilled anyway, so what I started doing was coating them in a very thin layer of some type of wet food she could have (you could do the canned) and putting it back there that way. Slides down easier...
Actually, what a great idea! Yes if I crushed them into the canned food, I am certain that would work much better. I'll ask the vet if that's okay to do.

Works like a charm! Trust me, Austin was not a happy camper when I would make him take his meds at one point. So since he loves cheese and he's a smarty pants, he knew I hid it in the cheese but he couldn't resist. lol

Good Luck!
Unfortunately, because of Jackson's diagnosis, he can't have cheese anymore! This is how I used to give him his pills. Probably never again but especially right now with calming his stomach down. He can't have anything except the RX dog food they've given me.
