Need tips on giving meds by mouth

[KittyKitty1]

KittyKitty has liquid meds, and has to have them once, and another one twice, each day. Any tips on helping to get that marvelous mouth to open?

Hey, I know what you mean!
The trick is to be patient! If your beardie doesn't like the taste of the meds, maybe you can dilute in la little bit of juice to make her lick and open enough her mouth for you to stick the seringe tip (or whatever device you're using).
In my case, five alive did the job. The quantity of juice I gave was like 0.05 ml, just enough to get the mouth open (procedure vet-approved!)

I pull my dragons mouth open by holding her head and pinching her skin below her jaw and prising her mouth open while my son injects the meds. Its not nice but the only way. Tough love eh

Thanks for input, beardie lovers. We will try both suggestions, as KittyKitty has 14 days of oral meds within those incredible jaws! Much appreciated.

My vet told me when you pull down don't do it to hard because you can rip there skin so be careful
