Awww...Algy and I hope Alex is feeling better. Getting them to take their pills can be a chore. Algy is such a pig that he used to eat the pill straight in hopes that our other dog at the time, Delilah, wouldn't get it first. Delilah was like your Alex - very clever at not swallowing pills. We found that wrapping the pill in some meat or cheese worked, but you have to let them see that you have more than one to give them, so they don't take their time and the just swallow it down. That worked…

Oh... poor baby!!! If it was me.... my first mission would be to find another vet!!!<br />

We have trouble sometimes with Soffie and Griffyn too taking pills. When all else fails, we use the method Alice uses with Finnigan.<br />

Heal quick Alex!!!

Sorry to hear Alex was hurting!! I hate it when they have ailments(just like kids) Edward is more of a stinker when it comes to pills. I usually save a piece of some kind of meat from our dinner and hide their pills inside it..they usually swallow the whole thing in one gulp. I know they have some flavored chewable pain pills that they just gobbled down, but don't know about that for antibiotics. I hope Alex is feeling better soon!

When I fed my Lizzie with pills coated with peanut butter, she will do the same. My vet showed me that I can just put the pill in her throat. The first reflect for the dog will be swallow what's in there. You need to put the pill deep enough.

Hiding pills in food doesn't work with Finnigan either. We tried everything from cheese, yogurt and peanut butter to bread, hot dog and banana. Even tried crushing it and mixing it in with food. He somehow knows it's in there and will spit it out. i swear he can smell it even over all the yummy food smells.<br />

The easiest way we've found to give him pills is to take the pill between your thumb and index finger, open the dog's mouth with the other hand then quickly place the pill as far back in the mouth as possible, close the dogs mouth right away and hold it closed with the head at an upward tilt and rub the dog's throat to ensure that he/she swallows then offer a drink of water. Finn swallows it right away without a fuss. We don't even have to do the rubbing of the throat. After the first 3 or 4 times he became a pro. Really, it's very easy. Hope she feels better soon!

The secret is to rely on their guttony. I give pills with the cheapest indidually wrapped american cheese. You put the pill between two bite size pieces. Make a couple more with out the pill. I give the first one with the pill to them, while they can see another piece in my hand. They snarf the first one so they can have the second one as soon as possible. The first time you may need 3.

You can use other things with the same principle, the individually wrapped cheese is handy because it will go on sale for cheap and last forever in your fridge for emergencies.<br />

We crush Potus's worming tablets into peanut butter in his bowl. He licks it right up. Every other way ends in him spitting it back out. Smart Corgi.
