He said he could also give me pain medicine, but that he thought it would be quite difficult for me to administer to him, and that he thought he would be fine by the end of this week.
FYI if the meds don't taste bad just sneak it in a bit of tasty food. For some meds, like wormer, I have also injected it into a pinky mouse (I have a freezer full of pinkies for my snakes). The birds love those pinkies and it is a sure way to make sure they got the whole dose (without anyone else getting any).
