Ed was never good with pills. If you put them in peanut butter or just
about anything else, he would spit out the pill. I was not ready to
wrestle with a 110 pound dog trying to force it down. Mixing the
powder with the food was a whole lot easier. I always gave him a golf
ball sized teaser of some kind of chopped up meat in his dry food and
I mixed the benadryl in that.
Heh. I had the same problem with Sam Adams. I fooled him a few times
by putting his pill in those "pill pockets" they sell but he figured it
out. He'd eat the tasty pill pocket and spit the pill out.
So, I'd give him one without a pill in it which he would quickly gobble
down, followed by another with a pill. Somehow, he'd eat the pill
pocket treat but spit the pill out.
I tried simply emptying the contents of the pill and mixing it in his
food. He'd go over, sniff at his bowl, look at me with an expression
like, "nice try" and walk away. It got to the point where even if
resorted to the age old, put it in his mouth, hold his mouth shut and
wait for the tongue to come out a few times indicating he had swallowed
didn't work. As soon as I let his mouth go, he spit the stupid pill out.
