How can we get Pepe to take his morning medicatia?; It is a tiny pill and we try to wrap it in a small piece of beef or chicken

but sometimes the pill ends up on the floor.

When the medicatia (an antibiotic for dogs) is discontinued he has severe hemorrhaging from his nose.

What to do? crush it up and hope it grinds into the meat?

Thanks!

Stick the pill into a small chunk of cheese. He'll gobble it right down.

If he hates cheese then put the pill on the end of your index finger, squeeze his muzzle (top jaw) with your other hand gently to open his mouth and literally shove the pill down into his throat past his teeth so he won't be able to get it back out. Do it in a very quick motion and pull your hand out immediately so he won't gag and possibly bite you out of fear.

I have to use that method on a couple of cats I baby sit here while the owners are on vacation. But one cat owner has some sticky goo she pre-wraps the pills in and the cat eats it with no problem.

Pepe? What happened to Juan that houseboy you ran off with. He was such a little pest. He was the king of the teeny weeny peeny committee.
