Our 4 year old got an operation to fix her cruciate ligament, and she's constantly on medication. I have to give her lots of pills in the morning and then lesser in the evening.
Problem is she doesn't like it, so what i do now is crush it into powder, throw it over her food and add a pit of plain yoghurt and she eats it, but lots of the powder stay behind.
Trying to feed her by hand with her food and her pills is an incredibly difficult task and especially with the amount of pills she has to swallow it really is not a solution. She spits out a lot of the pills.
Our vet recommended giving her canned versions of her food but that would be so expensive. We are already struggling to pay the operation costs, and the meds are just piling up.
Also, she had skin issues in the past, so i cannot feed her anything. Our vet only recommends she eats her dermatology food and nothing else really.
Is there an inventive way for me to feed her her pills ? I would be so grateful.
