Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty?

This is Jake the Snake and He belongs to our youngest son, Jonathan. He's quite docile and easy to like. Recently, he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection which requires antibiotic therapy. Now, the only way you can get medicine into a snake is by injection, so when my son asked for my assistance, he gave me the option of either holding the snake or administering the injection.

Oh my! What's a Mom/Granny to do?! I opted for administering the injection while Jonathan held onto Jake. I do feel badly for the creature and hope he gets well soon!
