ok..last night was when we gave it to him and I didn't get but one nick of blood on my arm anyway, I held him as dh gave the medicine to him..I held his neck and grabbed as much skin as I could and he didn't flinch whatsover...took it like a pro....but as soon as I let go of his neck his back claw dug in deep.....ouch but he is all fixed up now...Thanks for all of these ideas everyone!! I appreciate it and helped me out alot!
