I give Teddy his pill in a small piece of low sodium mozzarella cheese - it's the only think that has worked for us. |

I crush them up and mix them in with a little nutritcal and then use a baby spoon to feed it to them. |
when ever we give any of our dogs pills (we have a 17 year old male scottish terrier/jack russell cross, a 8 year old spinger spaniel/border collie cross and my 1 year 6 month old yorkie female) we give them dolly mixture sweets. they know that they arent allowed them and that they are a rare treat and they go nuts for them. we push the pill inside one of the squishy sweets and give that to them first so they cant tell its different to the others and then we give them 2 more normal sweets so they think its just a treat. works every time with all three and they wolf them down!! :D |
I have good luck with braunsweiger, liver sausage. I give a few bites of it without anything in it and then slip in the bite with the pill and offer another bite quickly to encourage swallowing to get the next bite. You can crush the pill, also. The liver sausage has a very strong smell and taste, so it works for me. Jeanette |
Well, I thank all of you for the suggestions, all of them great ideas, but after having waisted this expensive medicine already I am heading to the vet this morning to let them do it as I just cannot afford to loose my last pill at 16 dollars a pill. Just fed Gizmo so he would have a full stomach and off we go. Cannot believe this little runt out foxed me....boy if it had been any human that made me waist this expensive medicine I would have punched them in the face....(sounds violent huh....lmao).....:confuse2::teethysmi |
I stick Coco's in a slice of hot dog. She basically just inhales it:) Then if we have the pill pockets, those work too. You can get the Greenies pill pockets at the pet store, you basically put the pill in in and pinch the end, making a tiny "pocket" with a pill inside:D |

Riley is the SAME Way!!!! I had to give him clavamox day and night for 14-days and it was the hardest thing!!!! Whatever I did would "Maybe" work the first time, but then he knew..... I ended up preping the pill the night before...wrapping it in a teeny piece of a pill pocket.... I would then just randomly start having him do tricks... the first couple i would just give him a teeny piece of the pill picket and by maybe the third trick, I would give him the teeny piece that had the pill in it. That would usually end up working. and would just start doing tricks with him... The first couple |
Charlie takes quite a few different pills but if I try to hide them in food he eats the food and then spits the pill out as if to say ha ha ha so I got a syringe without a needle on it and I crush the pills, I take the plunger out and put the crushed pills in and then fill the syringe some with milk not allot just enough to make it flow easy. I then get Charlie and open his mouth and shoot the mixture to the back of his throat. Now dont get me wrong he KNOWS whats coming soon as he sees me crushing pills and he isnt thrilled but he does get his meds like he should. |

Finger in the throat, several times if need be. If it's a too big, I coat it in sweet potato or something. |
Cheese has never failed me! |
I also use Greenie Pill Pockets, I break into thirds roll the pill in one of the balls and "train" them into her by giving her the ball with the pill second. Sophie Kate is HORRIBLE at taking bills, the girl can suck the cheese off a pill and spit it back at you (seriously). |
Well they simply put it way back in his throat like someone already suggested then held his mouth shut while rubbing his throat and whalla...down it went.,.,.as all the vets laughed at the fact that Gimo out-foxed me......I like the suggestion of putting it in the syringe with liquid.
