Thanks for that suggestion. The pill gun seems to be the only thing that consistently works and he hates it. You can feel his heart accelerating as well as his pupils getting really big whenever we have to hold him down. It also takes two people to do it most of the time because he moves his head so much when you try to do it alone.

Please keep the advice coming.
