other forms of medicating?

Basketcase2005 Sep 16, 2003 05:14 PM

my 10 month old, 18in male beardie is having a bout with coccidia and insists on fighting my every atempt to give him his meds. so if anyone out there has a better method of medicating, other then prying his mouth open, it would be very helpful. thanks all!

Well, it might not be so odd as it first sounds.... I did load a few crickets into a syringe with no needle and "squirt" them into a sick dragon's mouth to get him to eat, a while back.
Made "Liquid crickets" sort of...

I just injected some albon into two F/T pinky mice today LOL

Sure as heck beats fighting them with a syringe full of meds lol
