How do you get your dog to take liquid medicine?

So I’m weaning Blondie off the prednisone because I hate what it’s doing to her. I found a decongestant I could give her safely through an online vet website. But getting a dog to take 12.5 ml of a liquid that dog does not want to take is not an easy task. Our first attempt yesterday resulted in red sticky stuff spread over my entire kitchen and dog and me. Then I tried to drip it into bread and cover the bread with peanut butter. It’s amazing how she can get all the peanut butter off without ever touching the medicine soaked bread. Now I’m trying to wrap the soaked bread in raw hamburger.

Sigh… If you have ANY helpful suggestions, I am so very open to hear them right now.
