| same thing with my doggies, even though it's flavored they know......and spit it out and roll over and act funny, lol. you will have to feed them manually, you have to place the tablet inside on one side of their mouths and put it near their throat....then you have to close their mouth (to make sure it doesn't drop out) and most importantly...you have to lift their head up and rub their throat in and up/down for about 6-8 times. Remember, you have to place the tablet pretty close to their "tonsils" near the throat. and lift their head up. LOL, but becareful, after you think they swallowed it; wait......my lulu sometimes holds it by her teeth and then spits it out, LOL. hope everything goes ok! =)

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | You got great advise - the smaller the piece the better my girls eat theirs....and mushing it or cutting it up in tiny tiny pieces and mixing it in something yummy will work also. |

| Pill Pockets Dezi would not take her pill either. The vet told me to buy pill pockets. It's like a treat and you put the pill inside the treat (it has a pocket for the pill) then you give it to them as if were a treat. |

| Any medication tastes better when rolled up in food they love Rylie LOVES his dog food, so when it comes time to give him medicine, I just dip the pill into his dog food and he gobbles it right up! Right now he's on ID through my vet and he loves that too! So I smear ID dog food all over his medication and he eats it and can't tell he's being tricked! |
