I have to give Chester calpol for the pain, but now he's feeling better it's becoming impossible. We can't hold him with too much force because of his leg, obviously - but he still has a heck of a kick. He doesn't like humans much *anyway* and has now taken to biting really hard.
Obviously we don't want to keep trying and dtressing him out/hurting him. We've been trying to give it to him in a syringe, which worked initally but now he has more energy fails dismally. We can't hold him properly and get the syringe in his mouth. We tried stabbing cranberries on the end of it to get him to oen his mouth but he just throws the cranberry off it in temper. He got so distressed he was biting me any chance he got, then kicking out and nipping everything near him.
I've given uip and put him back in his box with his partner at the moment to make him happier and distract him, but he's still in pain.
Any suggestions?
The vert said if we couln't get calpol in him a 1/4 of a paracetamol would work, but I can't think how we'd get that in him at the moment either.
He won't come to me anymore, he's very annoyed with me!
