Yeah I do. I'm a bit nicer to them though, I sprinkle their bute on their cheerios...

Not read all the replies but if you can't get Danilon then mint seems to work with all of ours. That and the sneaky M stuff. If any of mine are fussy the mint normally does it and then if they're still being daft a big blob of molasses.

just put it in a syringe with water
water first (cover with finger to stop water leaking out)... then pour packet of bute on top... put in plunger.. shake.. give to the horse
job done!!! plus this way you know that they are getting the medication then spitting it out

I'll store some of these suggestions in my memory that only works for things equine. Hopeless for anything else!
Danilon's by far the easiest.
In the days before Danilon I used to get bute in paste form. Comes in a wormer type syringe with 6 doses per syringe. More expensive than Danilon.
When necessary I hide most medication in soaked Badminton Fibre Plus Nuggets. Horses love them as much as any treat. They've got some strange herb in that's irresistible.
Good Luck
