Beat me to it. Sometimes crushing it and mixing it with something yummy (like hamburger) works great.
I'm thinking that's the route we'll have to take. He get's mostly dry food. We're gonna have to switch that. Especially since we'll be gone this week and wife's sister and Nana will be trying to give him the meds.
He tolerates a lot from me 'cause I'm the alpha dog. He won't take that from anyone else.
But then crushing wouldn't help if it's a timed release formulation.
'zat because he wouldn't necessarily eat it all at once?
I could starve him...
I don't know if they make timed release medicine for animals.
Timed release stuff is meant to be swallowed whole and the medicine is released gradually as the pill dissolves. If you crush it, the time release thingy is pretty much history and you'd be getting the whole dose all at one time instead of gradually.

You scored as Sniper Rifle. You like sharpshooting. Stealth, accuracy and range are your best friends. So you need sniper rifle (if you don't already have one).

Being a purist, I prefer a bolt action rifle. But what is also interesting is the ranking of other personal weapons choices.
Be careful if it's a suspended release type medication...crushing causes it to release all at once and can cause an OD.
Good morning all! I'm at the library. The boys are at VBS. I pick up Joshua at noon, but Matthew stays for choir camp till 5pm!
I feel a bit at a loss. Gonna go thrift store shopping...the kids hate it anyways.
You know, I'm just not thinking clearly here. The larger pills are chewable (he just won't chew 'em) so they wouldn't likely be time release.
Oh! No problem then.
need....more...coffee...
Coffee....good....
Well, we lucked out. The rim was still OK, and the tire was under warranty, so we only had to pay $31 for the labor to fix it.
Whew!
I have always used cream cheese when giving meds to my dogs.
It slides right down their throats. :-D
Oh, that's a relief!
It looks like what happened to my van last winter...the tire was off the rim, but luckily not damaged.
Hi everyone! New York was hot smelly and dirty... as expected...
