Sorry I can't be of help, but I wonder why you haven't gotten answers from the vet.
I have trouble getting my Westie to eat pills. The problem is aggravated by concerns about possible food allergies/sensitivities. Still, if the medication is necessary I stretch the control on food, say use a small piece of boiled skinless chicken breast to wrap around the pill. Here, again, I am not sure my dog will not have a bad reaction to chicken.. so for no bad reaction. I didn't ask the vet I think she believes I should be able to make my stinker-terrier swallow something he doesn't want to swallow... not possible.
You're kind of asking about stuffs that only a vet could answer. I don't want to aggravate you pooch's condition by giving you inaccurate dosage. I hope she gets better very soon. :)
