Spotacus flatly refuses to eat a Greenie anything, so the pill pockets are out.
We have a pill syringe. The problem is it takes 2-3 people to restrain Spotacus.
Last night, I experimented with some Viralys on my finger. He licked it off both times. Today, I'll try a small bit on a spoon, and if he still licks it, then crush the pill into that. Won't know for a bit, because Spotacus tastes something thoroughly over a several day period, before he decides if he's going to continue eating it or not.
If that doesn't fly, I'm thinking our next try will be the cat bag. He likes boxes and bags, so getting him into a cat bag as a restraint might be doable.
