My beardie has been diagnosed with coccidia and I just got the medication for it. (PONAZURIL) I am having trouble getting him to take it and am wondering if any one has tips to make ita little easier. I put the syringe into his mouth, towards the back and dispensed a small amount which came right out of his mouth. I wiped it up with my finger and he licked some of it off but I have no idea how much he got. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

There are a few good youtube videos, sometimes watching someone do it is more helpful than having it explained. Still, you'll probably get a few suggestions from the friendly folks here.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
