Happy birthday. Hope it's a greyt one. I did a lot of greyhound rescue and my job was always to meet the greyhounds coming off the track and give them the pill they had to get for worming. I would meet ALL of the strange dogs and shove a pill down their throats before they knew what hit them. I think the trick is not to think about it or you've had it. One good trick I have used on my own dogs is to lube it with a bit of yogurt so it's a bit slippery, open their mouth (not always easy but I loop a finger in their collar) and just slide the pill down their mouth. Works for me best when I talk and distract myself and the dog while thinking about it. I never got bit, but then again I never expected to. I think it's all in expectations or it was my own stupidity. If you EXPECT it to go well, it probably will. What have you got to lose? Good luck and I hope you little guy lives a long, long time.
