SHE WONT TAKE HER PILLS

Question
Hello-
My 6 month old chihuahua won't take her meds. They are in pill form so we wrapped it in food, she ate it and spit out te pill. We broke the food up it powder form and sprinkled it in her food then mixed up the food. She refused to eat the food, yet she would eat are other dogs food that was free of the meds. So, we crushed up the pill completely, added water and created a liquid form. We put it in a seringe and tried to get her to swallow it. She would not swallow, and puked up anything that she "accidently" swallowed. If she doesn't take it, she will obviously not be better...so what should I do to get her to take it? -Ashley

Answer
Hi Ashley,  Crush up the pills and put them in cheese whiz that comes out of the can.  Spray some on a paper plate, then put the meds on top, then spray some more over the meds.  Smash it together, and I guarantee she'll love it.  Hope this helps,
