I have to give him this liquid by mouth twice a day for the next seven days. I cannot add it to his food or anything (trust me I asked). Yesterday I caught him by surprise so I managed to get one dose in. This morning he was hip to my game and fought me tooth and nail. Between his snarling, biting and squirming I managed to squirt it all over his beard. Someone please help me!! How do I get this dog to take his medicine without losing a finger over it?

By the way, Nikko did some poop this morning and it was solid, so that means he is getting better.
Have you tried a syringe? That's the only way I can get the medicine to go down.
