I totally have the same thing here. I end up breaking those irresistible to any dog tables into 4 pieces and one by one put them down their throat. Every time a dog is at the vet and gets those tablets I ask for the pill version (which they don't have) and they assure me the dog will happily eat said tablet. They never believe me. Sigh.. The dog that inhales food drops the dogs-find-taste-irresistible pill then picks it up and sprints into the yard dropping it, picking it up. She tires of the game and heads to the garage in search of chicken crumbles. I search for tablet, fuming and swearing and sweating. I find it intact (thank you God please disregard my previous comments about life choices).
Just and FYI you can barf a dog putting about a teaspoon of salt on the back of their tongue. Always does a good job of barfing. Old trick from an old vet.
