I've been giving her the smaller ones, as I don't want to overwhelm her system. And I've been feeding her one every other day.. Poor thing doesn't have an appetite at all!!
Just like us when they become ill or are severly injured appetite lose is almost always a common reaction. The only way to keep them from starving is to force feed. I had to do the same thing to my female Pacman Grif. She didn't like the meds either. I did feed her a high calorie cat/dog food through a seringe. She actually liked that a lot and would willingly allow me to open her mouth when she saw what was in the seringe. Very easy for her to swallow and digest.
