Our 2 year old Shepherd came home from a local, well renowned kennels with bordetella bronchitis. He was treated and hospitalized for two days and prescribed antibiotics, but would not eat or take his medicine. Here is how tricked my dog into taking his antibiotics:
I crushed and ground up the antibiotics on a plate and mixed them with peanut butter, then gave it to him on a spoon, and if he wouldn't eat from the spoon, I spread it on his paw and forearm with a butter knife. He licked every bit up. Even the first day on sedatives.
My simple tip: Mix your antibiotics in peanut butter and spread it on their paw and or forearm... They instinctively "clean it off"
Hope that helps someone with a sick dog who wont take their meds.
