Has anyone had trouble getting there dog to take tramadol pill or liquid?

Our dachshund is l4 years old and she has arthritis in her back and hips so she is in a lot of pain. We can not get her to take either pills or liquid. We have tried hiding it in different foods but she always know it there and spits it out. Has anyone else had this problem. Dr. says she needs it but we just can't get it down her.<br/>

Have your vet's office show you how to give a pill to a dog. Basically, you open their mouth place the pill as far down as you can and they will have to swallow it. I'm sure you vet's office would be happy to demonstrate.<br/>
