help giving beardie medicine

[12cally34]

my beardie laid eggs 2 weeks ago, so i took her to vets just for a check up the pther week and they gave me a calcium supplement which i need to give her a shot of every day to get her calcium levels back up. most days its quite hard and stressful to her to be able to open her mouth and insert the medicine into it. but theres the rare occasion where its quite easy. is there any other way that i could give her the medicine without stressing her out too much??

Does she have a particular affinity for baby food? Maybe mix some calcium into Squash baby food and offer her that.

I also recently saw a good video on how to get the syringe in the mouth relatively easily..
