On food he likes. For example, banana, basil leaves (i use several leaves with small drops of medicine so they can't taste it), pellets

I've given it on a very small square of brown bread before :thumb:

I always give baytril on bread. Rabbits shouldn't really have bread but baytril tastes vile! I've tasted it.

So much less stress if you can hide it in a favourite food.

Bunny headlock, give them some pinapple juice in the syringe for a false sense of security, then meds :lol: Once bunnys head is secure the syringe goes in easily at the side of the mouth just behind the teeth

ETA: Bunny headlock that sounds horrible

I had to give Harley antibiotics after he was badly bitten, and being trained to jump from 6 weeks old, he probably has more muscle than me so had to attempt to kind of turn him over, secure him with one arm and elbow using my hand to keep his head still, and then quickly get the meds in, I swear it wasn't cruel like it sounds

We've always managed by mashing up a bit of banana and mixing the medicine in with it
