I hate medicating them!!!! ugghhh

Okay now for some advice.... I have found that it is easiest to use a favorite fruit treat and hollow it out (blueberries, banana, strawberries, grapes...etc) Fill with the med, and make sure they eat it all. First give them a small bite of fruit or favorite food without the med. Once you are assured they want more, then fill the others and try. I have had to resort to spreading pear jam on a collard green with the last bit of meds covering it. This is the one time that I break the rules (give banana or anything he'll eat) to get those meds down!! I have had no luck in forcing them in (he is a hard one to wrestle!)

Good luck and let us know how is goes.
