That's what I ended up doing afterall, Deanna. I had to get it down him cause his stool is getting runny again. And it went pretty well. Thanks for the advice! Thanks to everyone else too!

I put the first couple in his chicken and he didn't seem to notice them. But now he eats around it. I've always had a problem getting him to take pills and I was so happy that the chicken worked but now I don't know how to get him to take it. We've tried everything! Cheese, wet dog food, pill pockets, and more! He always either won't even try to eat it or will eat around the pill. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to shove it down his throat. And he only has 2 left and he didn't take this mornings dose. Thanks, Lorena Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
