Alfie's on Baytril for his chest, but he's knows now when it's time to give it to him!
Is there anyway I can hold him so he doesn't wriggle out of it!?
I'm holding him and my brothers give him the medicine!

Try wrapping him in a towel so he feels more secure there is a thread on here about how to do it correctly x

Mine are right little wiggles the second they taste baytril. They are even difficult to towel wrap. With the full syringe in my right hand I get them on my knee with my left arm round them so they can't wiggle back and left hand on the top of their head giving them a little stroke to calm them, before they know what's happened take hold of their head firmly but gently, fingers near the jaw, pop the syringe in and done. It took a little time to find something that works but I find that this works for me. Short and sweet, over before they know it, and then of course something nice to eat before they spit it out.

Hope he's better soon
