Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with medicating their chameleons with liquid oral meds. My chameleon won't open his mouth for feeding the meds. It has already been about 3-4 weeks with medicating him and each time I have to force open his mouth by pulling on the bottom of his chin. It's a pretty traumatizing experience for him and puts him under a lot of stress. Therefore, I was wondering a better way or technique for me to medicate him.
Also, he seems like he chokes on the medicine after and has to breathe through his mouth to swallow it after, for a while. I really don't want to have to resort to the physical injections as that is the only other option if the meds don't seem to work.
Any advice sincerely helps.
Thank you.
