I feel your pain! Perhaps you can wrap Zorro in a towel or blankie first to protect yourself from the flying razors! I also know someone once mentioned a "pill popper" that shoot the pill to the back of the thoat. I've never tried it though as I have visions on inhaling instead of exhaling and pilling myself I might be afraid of it going down the wrong pipe as well but I'm sure whoever invented it has all these issues covered. Good luck!
