Giving him the medicine orally certainly does sound like a joke!! Do they really expect you to be able to do that! And what about food? Will he be able to eat at all for the next few days? Oh, I wish he will, and hope there's a painkiller you can put into his food.

Fister once got some called Romefen, he only needed a half at the time, and they're pretty small.

I'm sending lots of good thoughts that he'll get better. Poor boy - give him gentle kisses from me.
