the vet should have given you a syringe!! try a pharmacy that sells disabled aids..those smaller chemists often are more helpful than say a well known one.
but you may get one from there anyway.
ring the vets and ask them for a 5ml syringe......then get a fork..insert one prong into the nozzle and turn it around several times..this widens the nozzle and makes it easier to syringe..
never follow the instructions..you just add a bit of the feed and add warm water to make it as runny or as thick as it will pass through the syringe.
if its easier...get some of the normal food pellets...add warm/hot water..not boiling...and let them soak for about 5 mins...then fluff up with a fork and try and mush out any large lumps....ive had a handheld blender for years...and one its main jobs has been to puree pellets and water for syringe feeding. You can also add a little fruit flavoured baby food to give it more flavour. Weve found over the years that the HIPP ORGANIC PEAR AND APPLE PUDDING is the favourite:lol:
wrap bunny in a towel to keep paws in....sit on floor and get on your knees crossing your ankles/shins so bunny cannot reve:lol:rse and escape...gently feel for bunnys mouth...slowly put the syringe nozzle into the corner of the mouth..behind the teeth..and squirt very slowly.
if this fails..enlist another person to help..hold bunny on their lap whilst theyre sitting on settee or chair or even the edge of the bed...head facing you....gently locate the side of the mouth..the gap behind the teeth and try again..be warned you will end up with the mix everywhere...or maybe its just us...bunnies spitting it out and running for it smearing it all over the towel..the clothes the person holding bunny has on...all over the furniture theyre sitting on...you will drip loads on the floor etc..go to push an air bubble out but a minute bit of the feed has stuck..so you press a little harder..its moved..yay..oh dear look at your walls:shock::lol:
my 2nd housebunny used to love licking recovery feed off a saucer..but only if he could be near the cats saucers
