My poor lil' puppy is sick

[Mark Talbot]

Get some peanut butter and use it to give with the pills. They can not resist.

Well you were not kidding.

She would swallow the pills raw,... and chuck them up later. It was kinda funny.

But she absalutely cannot resist the peanutbutter.

Thank you.

Gerry, appreciate the tip,..... but it no longer works.

I did the same, a glob of peanut butter,...

and she licked the peanut butter off and wouldnd get the pill.

I have to administer 2 twice a day,... and now she wont eat it.

I sat there for a half an hour trying to get one down, and she stared at me after pushing it down her throat,... only to cough it up a few minutes later spit out.


She aint playing that game anymore. Too smart for a 12 year old puppy. :(


Now I am down to deli meat.


I hope she doesnt figure that out.

Is there a liquid version of the medication?

That would be easier to disguise in food, or just an eyedropper in the mouth.

Cheese can work well. 1/2 a slice of American cheese can hold 1-2 pills.

Also, pill pockets (you can get them at most pet stores or on Amazon (much cheaper on Amazon).

I hadnt heard of those.

Might check into it next time, she only has a couple more days of perscription left.
