I need help administering medication.

This is what our member has to say: I'm not sure that I can give Panacur by oral syringe to my ball python without drowning him with it. Does anyone have any suggestions ...

I think if it were me I would try to get a local vet to help me with this one, unless you are trained in the use on needles (which I am not) You may do more harm than good. I know some of our members have done this so I'm sure a better answer will be along shortly.

Answer to Merlin

The vet prescribed the Panacur to rid Don of parasites. She gave me two more syringes to give to Don on the next two Mondays. I just to make sure that I give it to him properly (orally) without harming him.
