Hi,
I didn't post this in ER because it's not an emergency, but my recent adoptee Helmut got his first checkup and has pinworms and an over-abundance of amoebas according to the lab report. They prescribed 2 oral meds and I'm trying to figure out how to get him to open up. He's smaller & doesn't have much of a beard to pull down on as I've seen some suggest. I don't want to apply much force for fear of hurting him, and he's fairly new to the family, so I'm trying not to alienate him, but I know he needs his meds. What's the most gentle and effective way to get this done?
