Mason: Take the 1/8 tab of Flagyl, crush it up really fine (using the bottom of a heavy, flat cup or glass, and mix it with a small amount of warmed up baby food. I'm hoping that Slinky is already used to baby food? Use only a small amount of baby food (like a teaspoonful) so you're sure he gets all the medicine, and then you can give him more baby food if you like. You can also take the 1/8 tab and slather it in Nutrical, gently shove it in is mouth past his teeth so he doesn't chew it, and he should swallow it, but I think the baby food way is easier.
