We also have given her the one with the pill and then followed up with another one so she has no time to pick the pill out. There also is the option of a pill shooter. It sounds bad but its not, it just drops the pill down the back of their throat. You have to make sure it has a rubber tip though or you could damage their throat. I have to do the pill shooter every time Callie has to take tramadol because it tastes so bitter.
this are a chew one and we have to give her 1/2 and later on smaller like 1/4 I think and it soft so we have mash it and we have made it smaller piece too. but she still find it. but it don't help much it a dark in color so it make it easer for her to find it lot of the time. we know what to do with the hard pills so far just the soft chew ones we not to sure on how to give her the meds
