I think farms means that she spits them out when she puts them in her mouth. My Sammy is very gifted about spitting them out, even if I stick them way back there where I think he couldn't possibly. Cheese works for him, though.

Just got home from St Louis. We got there an hour early somehow and then the bus was half an hour late!

Yeah, I figured she spat them out. With Brew I have to stick them as far back as I possibly can and then hold his mouth shut GENTLY and massage his neck/throat with the other hand to stimulate him to swallow. Sounds mean but it’s the only way for him. He spits them out like a champ no matter how I disguise it LOL and even with my new method, he still often manages to deceive me and spit them out because I think he swallowed but he didn’t really and I let go too soon so sometimes it might take like 2-3+ tries or whatever but eventually it works with patience and of course being as GENTLE as possible obviously. But yeah. I want to try meatballs or something else though. I think I did try them once a long time ago but I can’t remember if it worked or not.

As you hold his mouth shut and his nose pointing up, try blowing gently over his nose, or rubbing a little saliva over his nose to make him lick his nose. Once his tongue comes forward like that, the pill will be too far back for him to spit oout. You might also try dragging the pill through a little butter to make them too slick to spit out. That's if you're just popping the pill down.

Cheese works for me but if it ever doesn't, I would bury the pill in a one-inch length of hot dog. That would make a GREAT pill pocket! Oh the games we dog people play. Lol!
