The dog needs 2 kinds of antibiotics, painkiller, and arthritis meds. First I wrap one pill in liverwurst, give it to the dog, she licks the liverwurst off and spits the pill out. Then I try to grind the pill by smashing it with a hammer , then I flatten out piece of liverwurst, put some ground pill on it, top with another piece of liverwurst, roll it in little balls so she would eat them whole. I had to do this 6 times. I have tried cheese, she ate the cheese , spits out the pill, I tried wrapping in ham, she ate the ham, spat the pill out. Hubby and I tried popping the pill down her throat, somehow it gets out of her mouth and ends up on the floor. So the smashed pill in liverwurst works, got to do this twice a day for the next 10 days.
Also I have to give 2 of my cats meds with a syringe.. Fun NOT ! For that I search for the cat, somehow he and she knows I am getting the meds ready, must heard the med. bottle open or something.. and goes and hides. I wait awhile, the cat comes out of hiding and I grab the cat, wrap him in a towel, covering his front paws, holding him with one arm and give him his medicine with the syringe. Of course some of it splashes on me , the couch, and leaks out of his mouth. Forget about pilling cat ai ai ai !!!
