[NAGDU] Pills

[Becky Frankeberger]

Have you tried mixing the broken chewables  up med in his food. For the many
pills my sweet pup was on for his unknown illness, I put the pills in small
pieces of cream cheese. Then I show him the three treats I have for him. He
just swallows as he is looking to the next treat.

Igloo is a Labrador, but he is cautious about unusual food.  This is great
most of the time, but it also includes his heartworm pill.  I got the
chewable kind, thinking he would just snarf it down like my other dogs have,
but he just sniffs it and refuses to eat it.  I end up sticking it in the
back of his mouth and letting him lick whatever I was using to try to
disguise it off my fingers, like peanutbutter. 

I think, when I have to re-order,I'll look for the non-chewable kind that
will fit in a pill pocket, but I still have 3 chewables to go.  They're the
big, hard chewable, not the ones that feel like cake. 

Anyone have ideas about how to get Igloo to quietly eat his pill?

Tracy
