lol. ok just to clear this up....
When i sed "drip" i ment an IV like you get when you re in the hospital.

not an dropper. this is also known as Intravenous therapy.
Inside the iv pack there is a liquid containing various "good for you" things. Now you get a pack like this and then take some liquid from it with a syringe and present this to the t in a bowl, in the hope that he would drink it just like he drinks water. This would nourish him and prevent dehydration at the same time. That is if the t takes the "bait"
