I ' ve told this story before , but it ' s too good . I had to give my dog allergy medicine a pill , not a liquid . She ' s the worst at taking it . Nothing works not hiding it in cheese or lunch meat . Not crushing it up in peanut butter . Not pill pockets . She ' ll always find it and spit it out or turns up her nose at the peanut butter . I took to just putting the pill in her mouth , holding it closed , and watching her swallow . After a while , the meds quit working . She was scratching so much she was bleeding . We went back to the vet , and I paid for some really expensive steroids which calmed her down a little . A few days after that , I moved the couch to vacuum underneath it . I found a pile of about 15 allergy pills . Yeah . They didnt stop working , little shit had just been fake swallowing and hiding them for a long time .
