When I took the dog to the vet on Friday, he found that she had some worms, which is common with a stray dog.  He gave me a small bottle of Panacur and a syringe with instructions to give it to her once a day for three days.  They did the first dose right there in the office, leaving me to do them yesterday and today.  The vet assistant made it look easy—he just grabbed her mouth, forced it open, and squirted the medicine in.  I, on the other hand, made a total mess of it yesterday.  More of it ended up on the floor and on me than in her mouth.  I’m just glad that today was the last dose I had to give her (it took four attempts this time, although most of it got in her mouth rather than on the floor).
