if its liqward...we have to do 2X syringe on DJ (have done so for the past 2 years) and we lay him on his back, hold his hands infront of his chest and aim the syringe at the roof of his mouth (another trigger for swallowing) and it works 90% of the time. (we do 1X4ml then 2X3ml from another syringe and the latter one is BIRGHT red, twice aday)
