if he doesn't drink on his own, you can use a dropper (baby, medicine, etc.) to get some in him. Slightly pull on his dewlap and drop the water in from the side of his mouth, a little at a time. It may be helpful to have someone else hold him while you do this if he is too squirmy, and they could also cover his eyes while holding him, this calms them down also. (that is, hand over the eyes, not directly on them of course :-)
