Good news/not so good news

Good news--Gaby is perking up. She ate enough duck heart treats to count as about half a meal, along with a dose of painkiller.

Not so good news--I tried to put an antibiotic capsule down her throat, and received a show of teeth for my trouble. I understand that she's not herself and she was likely still hurting, and she hated it when I put the metro down her throat back when her gut was acting up. But teeth aren't good, and I am at a loss about how to get this damned stuff into her. Encasing it in a wad of food would work great with King, but she would lick off the food and leave the capsule, assuming she was interested in the food. I tried adding white rice to her lunch, and she left it scattered all over the floor.

If the vet would show me, I would just give her an injection every day.
