the vet gave me some pills to give to her everyday afer her rat bite. She said to put the pill in her mouth and she said if that didnt work to crush it up in water and use a syringe to put it in her mouth.

unfortunatly she just spits it out whether its the pill or pill water. I dont know what to do i tried again today and she got mad when i tried to open her mouth this time, not sure if she just swing around aggresivly or tried to bite me. luckily my hand was out of the way.

Any ideas on ow to get her to swallow? it'd be worth the danger if i knew she wasnt gonna spit it out right away.
