Joan have you ever tried hiding his meds in a ball of liverwurst? liverwurst has a very strong aroma and taste to hide the smell and taste of pills.

Last night he wouldnt eat the pill pocket and I had a heck of a time trying to get the pill down his throat he kept producing it and he was trying to spit it out. Finally, the pill was smaller from his saliva already breaking it down. I opened his mouth, dropped the pill in his mouth so that it was near the back, then gently closed his mouth and blew into his nostrils. (my sister had a dog with epilepsy and she told me once that is how she gives him his medicine. This morning, he ran to the counter where the food canister is and so I filled one of his new treat balls and he played with it, crunched the food, etc. He went outside by Dolly and came back in. I have to give him medicine in about an hour, so I hope that he can eat the pill pocket with the pill in it without spitting out the pill so many times. He might have learned last night that if he doesnt eat the pill pocket that the pill inside does not taste good. He was so hungry that I hope that eating the kibble didnt cause more problems in his mouth.
