I tried moving it around his mouth but he's such a clever little guy that he just keeps his mouth shut!

I was told that with the syringe near his face he might bite and latch on but he's not a biter, he's only threatened twice. Once when I first met him and yesterday when I thought it'd be a good idea to take him outside. He was mad about being outside!

The vet suggested just ground turkey with calcium since it would be easier to digest. I offered him some after giving him the syringe but he didn't want to eat. I did give him a worm as a treat after and he ate that since he's a spoiled boy. But no more worms until he passes whatever is in him!
