    Gina - Try getting Paleface hooked on Chicken baby food.  Once he's
addicted (yes, that's a proper term), then you can crush the pills in the
baby food and slip them by him.
 
    Metronidazole is a very bitter tasting medication.  Susan Brown says she
gets some from Mexico that doesn't taste too bad, but I'm not sure where she
