How to give panacur?

My two get really stressed syringing it directly into their mouths so i hide it in banana now :) xxxx
 
I just pop it in their mouths with the syringe through the gap between their teeth. They are never best pleased but don't seem to mind the taste.
 
two of mine are really good and just take it from the syringe and love the taste lol, whereas my other one hates the syringe near his mouth, so we put it either on a little bit of curly kale or cucumber, or just add it onto a rabbit treat and he eats it all that way
 
We normally use a piece of brocolli, skewered with a kebab skewer, then the correct grads of panacur applied. Also works well with apple and as Grace mentioned, banana. :wave:
 
Get a dandelion leaf put Panacur in middle and fold over. That works if bunny loves dandelions. The Panacur holds the two sides of the leaf together and bunnies are none the wiser. The first time I wormed Honey I gave up as she wouldn't take it in side of mouth and was way too stressful. With this way have had no problems with either of my buns taking it. Can use with any leaves they like. Good luck!:wave:
 
When I panacured Thistle, I gave it to him squidged between two fenugreek crunchies.

Jess had EC and she was easy to medicate when she was too wobbly to run away but as she recovered, it got more difficult. The only way I could get it into her on her perkier days was to put it on a bit of rich tea biscuit :oops: I don't think that's really recommended though! :lol:
 
I wrap the dose needed in a basil leaf. Have never had any problem with anybun taking it. In fact they soon learn when it is time for the panacur and stand waiting :lol:

Like this but put your knee behind their bum and your hand on top of their head to stop them shuffling away. Wrap in a towl if you still can't get it in. Usually the first dose is the hardest, I think it tastes quite nice.

This works for my two as well. :D:D No stress and no need to catch them to administer it because they come to me.
 
Not tried it myself yet, but someone on RU said put dose in mini shredded wheat, let it dry overnight and give to bun in morning, they should take it then with no problem. I am going to try this next time mine need panacur.:)
