I went through the same thing a couple of years ago, and ended up calling in a behaviorist. We used a clicker to work on desensitizing her to our putting the medication on, and did other exercises related to dominance (without the clicker). It wouldn't hurt for you to bring someone in because, if your dog is exhibiting this behavior, you have some dominance issues. She is telling you, no, I don't want you to do that to me.

I can now put on her without incident.
