Gonna buy some hornworms and inject the antibiotics into them so it’s less stressful for him

@Ghostbirb has a fantastic photo of Nachito that shows where to aim when administering medication orally.

If the antibiotic is thick and can be put ON a bug, I have done that before too and thats worked well for me

I have been summoned!
Here’s the photo of the chameleons mouth anatomy! If you get oral medication that you need to put in the mouth you will want to aim towards the back as to not aspirate your Cham

Just got him from the vet on the way home. They said I should give him antibiotics, I know there is a specific way to give it to him (orally) does anyone have the picture that shows the correct way to admister the antibiotic? It’s in a syringe

This shows how…but make sure you don’t get it in his lungs…ease the medication in …don’t squirt it in…as @Ghostbirb explained above…

Just got hornworms and was able to put the antibiotics in the hornworms with a syringe that looks like that and he ate it today! Way less stressful for him than trying to get him to open his mouth, also got a bunch of plants for his new enclosure

Got him all set up, he’s super strong, eating well and drinking too! New plants filled out new enclosure nicely and he’s getting to bed now
