Do any of you have any tips for giving a dog pills? Tango has to take some at the moment for an infection and it's an extremely difficult task. I could cover it in any sort of food and she knows it's there. She either will lick all of the food off, or just leave it be. The putting it down the back of her throat is also difficult as she tightens her jaw as much as possible and I can barely get my hand in. Sometimes she'll clamp down on my hand by accident, just because she hates it so much. She releases right away, but her jaw is still tight which like I said, makes giving her pills very difficult. The other problem with putting it down her throat is that she won't swallow at all. Then she coughs it back up. So, does anyone have some tips? Anything would be very much appreciated...but I have a feeling there aren't any other ways than what I've already tried..lol.
