That might work with some of the pills but the Tramadol (one of the pain meds) has a really nasty taste to it...

I put a little on my finger first to see if he would eat it and he wouldn't... I just tried liverworst and it didn't work either... I thought he would gobble it down but he took it from me and just licked it so he ended up finding the pill... Putting it in his chicken in the morning works but not any other time during the day. I'm gonna ask if they have any liquid meds but I have to wait till monday.

I just clicked on the link I sent.. goes to the Wal Mart ad.. well that's the right product, but I mean't to send the link to the Jones website here . Same thing. I've tried so many things to get the dogs to take meds. I hate to have to force them to take anything, that's a last resort. ~R --- In [email protected], "meccarose" <meccarose@...> wrote: > > That's strange.
