I agree Liz, the oil in smelly fish does it every time Taking the medication is a bit more difficult for our dogs with tumors in their mouths. They are understandably rather choosy because it's painful for them to eat. Some foods seem to sting their mouths because the tumour is like an open wound.

I tried soft Philly cheese to begin with and have always used that method to deliver medication but for some reason she refused to take the cheese. Then I tried liverwurst, that worked for only a short period of time too.

I think it had to do with pain management. Once I got the pain under control I found that a little minced meat wrapped in a small ball around the tablet did the trick and it still works for us. She would probably take the Philly cheese now but since what we're doing works for now I'll stick with the minced meat.
