          If he’s still eating greens, just drizzle it on his greens. it’s the only way I can get either of mine to take their meds and it works wonders.

              If you have to give it twice a day, you can either divide his greens, OR you can cut up a baby carrot and squirt a drop on each piece for whenever you don’t give it with his greens.

                Although the technique the vet uses is great, I know it would never work for me and my buns. I recently had to medicate Pea 2x daily for two weeks. Are you able to pick Chibi up at all? I would place a towel on a table, scoop him up and place him on the table and then wrap the towel around him (burrito style)

                If you’ve not seen the burrito wrap before, I’ve linked a photo of Pea all wrapped up.

                I found that Peanut didn’t move much on the table but I wrapped him anyway because I didn’t want to risk him pulling a fast one when syringing him. To give him the meds, place the syringe in the side of his mouth (there’s a gap there) and just depress the syringe slowly so he doesn’t aspirate and make sure he’s swallowing. Stop regularly so there’s not too much in his mouth at once.

                I hope this is of some help! Speedy recovery vibes Chibi xxx

                (I posted this on your other thread but I figured I’d put it here as this is the more active thread)
