We may not be able to get the video over here but we 'might' be able to do a few screen shots, and depending on your dragon they may not stay still enough to do it.. so we are working on this but it might not be doable..There is a video of a vet putting their fingers over the dragon's eyes and it relaxes them enough for the jaw to be loose so they can put the syringe in to give this dragon meds.. I wanted to share this video with you (it was posted in a fb group patsy and I are in) so I'm waiting for her to see my pm to her to see about her posting it here for you. As it would be more effective than dripping it on the nose.

Okay so here are the still shots. I have the video but it's in FB messenger and I can't save it to my phone. The dragon does fight for a little bit before she settles down and allows the vet to do this so it takes lots of patience.
You want to be kinda slow while putting any liquid into their mouths as yes they can aspirate pretty easily.. so if your able to allow them to swallow as your doing this that's best.. Now if they do seem to have gotten some aspirated wrap them up in a towel to keep them from wiggling about and tilt them downward and pat them like a baby on the back as to shake the liquid out of the mouth..This can take a bit to get any out of them so be patient, do this until they act normally again..Sorry guys, one last thing before I have to give her next dose of antibiotics in the morning.
Should I be shooting the meds in from the side of the mouth or the front of the mouth like the pictures above? I just did some googling and there seems to be a lot of contradictory information out there about which method has the potential to aspirate them, and I definitely don't want that! Please help. Thanks again for everything!
