Force Feeding Water Dragons

My Water Dragon has lost weight and has stopped eating due to the soreness in her eyes, and I was going to syringe feed her a mixture of cricket, water and calcium/minerals until her eyes clear up.

I have looked on here for information, but can't actually see what is the best way to get her to open her mouth.

This morning I attempted to "force" feed her water - and she didn't open her mouth at all, and I would be worried that I would hurt her nose or mouth by forcing anything.

You may need to take him back to the vet, but see if this helps
