Just how big is this thing? I had to give my dog some big stuff and had
the same problems you have, certainly she wouldn't take them in any food or
even treats ... so in the end, I held her mouth, popped in the capsule right
at the back and rubbed her throat. She just swallowed it. If only I'd
known before how easy that was!!! Depends of course just how big that thing
is. All I can say is, if that won't work, you could speak to your vet.

Good luck, Janet.
