Hi everyone.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice to make medicine time a bit less stressful for Mac (and me for that matter).
Its just me, so I've only got one pair of hands. I'm wrapping him up in a towel, which he's okay with, but the second I get my finger anywhere near his mouth he flinches and tries to hide. It take ages to get to the point where I can get the syringe in. Once it's in he's very good and doesn't try to spit it out.
I'm just really aware that stressing him out is not helpful in helping him get better - he's eating much better today, but we've still got another 5 and a half days of meds to get through...
Thanks in advance.
