Re: teeth chatter

I feel your pain! Milo absolutely hates medicine. I have to wrestle him into a towel and form a "piggie burrito" that way he can't bite or get away and I can wriggle the syringe into his mouth. I spent 45+ minutes fighting to get him to take medicine before I developed the burrito method and I walked away with a few nasty bites too. He gets over being mad in under 10 minutes.

My other pig Norbie fought with me too, but after a few weeks on antibiotics he learned he was getting medicine fight or no fight. He eventually allowed me to give him medicine in the cage without even having to pick him up. Milo's to stubborn to ever do that though!
