Ok, so the dog has an ear infection, and she needs to take her damned antibiotics so she can walk without falling over again.  Problem is, as of this morning, she's refusing to eat the hotdog I put the pills in, she just chews it up and spits the whole thing out.

Anybody have any ideas?

What other people-food does she like?  Peanut butter, maybe?

I view holding her down and shoving it down her throat as a last resort.  I about lost a finger doing that with a cat.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Hold her mouth open, shove it in, hold it shut until she swallows. Yes. Really.

Go to your vet and tell them to give you a pet piller.  If not they are about $5 or less at a pet store.

Tempting, but she could take my hand off if she decides not to let me.

Hmm, tried cheese, but not easy cheese.

What kind of dog? And do you have backup?

Doberman rottweiler mix.  Though, I hadn't seen the pet piller when I said that, not actually having my hand in her mouth would be fine.

Yeah, that's a toothy heavy dog...just a bit.

Is there a way you can grind it up/squish out the gel on to/into the food? Even if the dog spits it out, she'll get the meds.

If she hasn't eaten her pill by the time its an hour till the vet closes this is exactly what she's getting.

I'm fairly sure she'll eat it tomorrow too.

Wrap it in cheese.  There isn't a dog on Earth that can resist cheese.

Or, shoot dog and eat pills.
