Any tips on getting meds into my pony!

Anyone? Molasses isn't cutting it she can still smell/taste it a mile off. She's missed two doses now

Grated carrot and apple, or apple juice in a feed, seem to work well for me to hide most things. Sugar beet also helps. What are the meds? You could try hollowing out something she likes (an apple?) and putting the meds in. She might not take it the next time though...

Marmite sarnies worked a treat with my fussy mare

Jam or marmite Sarnie!

I have a mega fussy cob, I don't even bother trying to get him to eat meds any more i just mix with apple juice into a paste and syringe it in.

Bute and antibiotics

Jam sandwich or hollowed out apple?

mine gets all his medicines/wormer in a banana sandwich only way to get them down him

I second the suggestion of syringing it in. I used old wormer syringes to administer bute.

Antibiotics is much more volume, though. Sugar beet has always worked for me.

At work we use syringes for fussy ones but with a bit of peppermint or something yummy mixed with it.
Hollowed out carrot with honey on top is also a good one.
& agree with above the fussy ones we have always seem to give in to sugar beet
