Help with meds, please!
For those who haven't seen my other threads, here's the story: My BP Cu has pinworms and is on Panacur weekly. Last week, over half of the liquid did not make it in her mouth. This week (just a few minutes ago), I got a bit more in, but I still spilled a lot.
I am the only one who wants to hold her head. I've got people holding the rest of her body, but I'm still stuck holding her head, opening her mouth, and giving her meds. And I'm still nervous about hurting her.
What can I do? First of all, I'm having a hard time getting her mouth open. I try to be firm, but I don't want to break her teeth. And because of that, I can't get the syringe all the way into her mouth. I'm also worried about getting any down her trachea.
Help, please! Pics, videos, advice, anything would be appreciated! She isn't getting enough of her meds, and I don't have enough to give her extra doses. If I can't get this figured out, I will start taking her to the vet weekly and having the vet do it, but I am low on funds and time and I'd rather not.
Please help me!!
