Please help

I need to give a 1/4 of a flagyl tablet to my sick axolotl which I have wrapped inside some food. The problem is my axolotl is not eating. Is it safe to hold the axolotl and put it in to it's mouth?

I've moved this thread to the Sick axolotl part of the forum.

What is the flagyl tablet for?

I spotted the following on www.axolotl.org/health.htm under "Safe or relatively safe Products" at the bottom of the page:

"Flagyl, also known as metronidazole - Used at a lower dosage than for reptiles, it appears to be safe for use as an anti-parasitic treatment in food (inject it into a waxworm or other convenient food). It also stimulates appetite."
