Aaaaaaaaaah! There’s nothing like thinking you tricked them into swallowing a pill & then seeing that very same pill in some corner somewhere!

Thanks for the idea, I
haven't tried liverwurst. I did try hiding stuff in regular chicken
liver, it worked for a while, then she discovered a pill, and chewed her food
much better after that! She finally stopped taking liver from my
hand. The little stinker. At this point, she's doing little more
than licking juice off of her food, I don't think she'd gobble anything. They do get finicky, don’t they! About the only other thought I had is that when I was feeding the strays & had to give them some meds, I’d wrap the pills in a ‘homemade’ pill pocket of liverwurst… They seemed to take it—what about if you mushed up some salmon & made a little ball with the pill in it?

Yes, I've tried pill pockets. I was so excited to get them, I
hoped they'd be my answer. She took one sniff at them and turned her
pretty little nose up. I tried cutting them up in smaller pieces, even
warming them, nope she's not havin' it. I don't know how a little feral
got to be so picky! I got the salmon (because that's one of her favorite
foods), I meant to try another flavor, but never got around to ordering
them. I could give it another go with a different flavor, at this point
though, when I can't get her to eat the real thing, I'm not very hopeful. Have you tried the Pill Pockets….
