I am not sure if this will help your pill problem but................
When Tinky had to take pills for her worms (but they were small pills) I would break a pounce treat in two (the soft ones) and lick my finger to wet one side of the pill and push it into the broken pounce treat .... the treat would stick to the side of the treat and she would eat the treat. She never caught on and she took all her pills. Maybe that will help.
