Sabrina has always been a difficult pill taker, probably because she won't eat hardly anything but her very own food! It's a blessing and a curse. When I hide pills in something she has always, and I mean always, kind of nibbled with her front teeth until the pill pops out. I have tried brusweiger (that soft sausage stuff - I can't spell it), peanut butter, steak slit and pill inserted, putting in her pupperoni's, wrapping it in ham, crushing it and putting it something - hamburger - everything I can think of. She is just too smart.

She has never been a "beggar" - she doesn't like people food that much, and what she eats and likes is "soft" food (that's why the tooth surgery last week). She loves fish - not breaded, not shrimp, salmon, tuna - just plain old fish, her natures balance dog food, every once in a while she'll want a taste of ham or turkey. BUT, when the Grandbabies are here - she will steal whole slices of pizza and hide them - grab weinies and run, eat cereal, cookies, drink spilt milk - I have no idea why except maybe jealousy or not wanting to miss anything! I bought a pill pusher and we get it done even in her small mouth.

Thank you all for your concern.

What's a pill pusher? How does it work and where do you get it? Thanks.

Sooo glad to hear she is doing well!! And my Luig is the same way!!! I will saturate his pill with peanut butter or hide it in his treat, but somehow he manages to get it out of his mouth!!!!!
Luig sends lots os puppy love and kisses!!!!

When my Bengie had his overdose he was on meds for a month. He caught onto the cheese, pnut butter, etc. tricks really fast, after one time, he knew there was a pill in it. And he is awful about taking pills. My solution was to take a mix of ground beef with a little ground pork, lightly season with salt and pepper, make a mini-meatball with the pill in side, cook and cool, and give him the meatball. He loves it so much, I think he swallows it in one or two bites and has not caught on yet!! LOL
