Our boy shepherd, Murph has been taking 5 pills for the last year for a really bad perianal fistula and it won’t just go away. Any time we discontinue these 5 pills, it comes back. He initially started out taking the pills fairly well in pill pockets. But eventually he stopped taking them willingly. Then we added peanut butter to the pill pockets which worked for a little while, and then he realized what we were doing. We tried lunch meat and hot dogs, but he got to where he would spit everything out and inspect it OR tongue it to death to get any pill inside out. The last few weeks we have been struggling with him to take these meds that he needs. We even bought a pill shooter but it did NOT work! The last few weeks, I have been having to just strong arm him and shove the pills down his throat. But it’s got to where it’s torture to us both. He has mastered locking his jaw, and then once I’m able to pry it open, he continues to spit his tongue out keeping me from being able to get the pill to the back of his throat. Fingers crossed this works for a while, but our daily routine now is cheese toast. So far this seems to be working. There is only 1 pill out of the 5 that I have to put down his throat. It’s kinda big and stinks like weed! He is NOT a fan.
