Yes they are amazing and entertaining.  But please be careful around sewing
stuff.  There's so much that can cause intestinal obstructions, like elastic
& buttons.  A friend of mine nearly lost her Ziggy because he had eaten the
thread from surging - I think that's what she called it.  That hangie piece
of weaved thread you always have to cut off everything you buy.  I've also
heard of peanuts causing blockages.  Watch those mischevious weasels!

Have you tried to mix the crushed pill w/a liquid to form a suspension?
Stuff like 100% grape juice diluted w/water (too puckery straight), olive
oil, Linatone, or Ferritone?  Suck some of the tasty stuff into the syringe
1st & then the mixed solution, so the last thing she tastes is the yummy
stuff.  Try to keep her mouth closed & syringe it in through her mouth by
the back molars.  Then give her a treat after her medicine.
 
Good luck, I know how heart-wrenching forcing them can be.
