Hi, barb,
The medication is pills?
OK, so you want to know how to get them down Rex's throat? Don't crush them.
With your left hand, open Rex's mouth, hold it open.
Then, with your right hand, take the pill between your thumb and finger.
Put your thumb and finger with the pill into his mouth.
While still holding his mouth open with your left hand, push the pill as far down on his tongue as you can, then close his mouth.
He will swallow it.
If you are afraid you are going to hurt him, please don't be afraid. You won't hurt him. It's something you have to do, if you want him to get better.
Make yourself do it; it works. I've done it many, many times. If he spits it out the first time, do it again; until he swallows it.
Best of luck.
