I used to think I was pill-giver extraordinaire UNTIL I fostered my first shih-tsu. Holy Moly! It was like trying to give medication to the Tazmanian Devil! Those little teeth clamp down hard, and they don't have as large of a gap between their front teeth and their molars as a larger dog has, which helps when prying the dog's mouth open and holding it open.
I hope you can find something that works. Does the medication come in liquid form? I was able to slip a small syringe (without needle, of course) into the mouth and give liquid meds much easier.
