Muskwa has to take a zinc supplement every day for the rest of his life. We've been pilling him every morning for five years already. I just put my hand over the top of his muzzle and pop his mouth open. Then put the pill in and close his mouth, rub his throat until he swallows. Followed by a biscuit. Food doesn't work at all with Muskwa--he can eat around anything and spit the pill out. Even this way, I have to make sure I get the pill in the centre of the back of his mouth or it's coming out!
