(3,467 posts)The vet gave him some meds which seem to be working...he's doing MUCH better. But this dog is usually my "hog dog". He will eat ANYTHING. But somehow he knows these pills are medicine. I have wrapped them in peanut butter but he still doesn't want them. I've tried wrapping them in the wet dog food the other dog has to eat, but nope. Won't eat it. Finally, I've wrapped them in cream cheese, like the worst thing for a bad heart, right? The first day or two he ate it, but the last two days I've had to shove them down his throat. I don't know what the problem is. One of these pills is supposed to be flavored and chewable. Not in his opinion ...any suggestions?

(3,467 posts)...hard to take the smell first thing in the morning, but sardines are his fave and the beans will allow me to form the mixture around the pill like a dough ball. He swallowed the little pills down, no prob. But when it came to the large, "chewable" he ate the fish dough from around it and deposited it on the floor. Again, I was forced to shove it down his throat.
Then last evening, instead of calling it medicine, I called it a treat. He swallowed both doses down like the glutton he is. Success!
