Wise Old Thumper
I could really do with some advice.
So far I've tried just holding him, wrapping him in a towel and my newest method, cutting a head sized hole in a towel and wrapping him up in that with his head out the front. But he can wriggle out of anything and he's a fast learner. It doesn't help that I'm quite small and he's quite big, but also his problem is with his teeth so his mouth is sore. I don't want to stress him out unduly, but he needs his medcine.
Cheers for the help.
Edit: I forgot to add that when he's in a really grumpy mood he refuses to swallow so the medcine just drips out. I thought maybe it was the way I was holding him so I tried adjusting that, but then he learned what I was doing and used it to his advantage to escape to the floor where he would promptly swallow what was left in his mouth.
I've also tried putting antibiotics on bread (his favourite food). This worked for a while, then he started to eat the bread around the medcine... plus this time his dosage is so high that would be a LOT of bread.
