Hello, has anyone any advice for how to adminster baytril to a bun who really doesnt want to take it? I'm struggling to hold onto her while i get the syringe into her cheek :roll:

A friend has suggested wrapping her in a towel so she cant struggle so much, is there anything else i can try as well? Could i put it on her food to get her to take it?

Thank you!

All my bunnies are greedy :lol::lol:
I use it for Panacur too, so much easier than struggling with the syringe

I put mine on the pellets and then I wipe up the bowl with a small piece of banana so that the full dose goes in.

I dip the syringe in honey or jam, insert it in the gep between the incisors and molars and direct it across the tongue (not towards the throat). I'm through with trying to placate them into eating it now....I no longer have the patience

I simply use towel and wrap around him tight. And when you insert the baytril, put it half way thru the mouth (middle of the tongue) so it won't leak out
