Does anyone else's bun end up lookin like this when you're trying to feed them critical care

[/IMG]

She's such a little wench! I thought I'd managed to get the syringe in her mouth ... happily feeding away - then I realise she's using her tongue to shovel it all straight back out again!!! She's learned some tricks from the vets when they're doing her dentals :lol:

Soooo, I'm hoping she managed to eat some and she'll have the rest when she's grooming herself later

She is gorgeous. I had to syringe feed a white bun once, he was all brown and green when we were done!

Zoid was terrible both times we had to syringe him...

I just hoped he lickedit all off his mouth.. He recovered both times ok... So I guess he was ok!

Phew, just thought it was me being completely inept :shock:
As soon as I let her down she was grooming furiously so I'm guessing most of the rest found it's way to her tum
She then went and started grooming Bingers so guessing some was wiped off onto him (maybe she was calculating this as she's far too smart for her own good):lol:
Just had to give her some more so she's really loving norty Mummeh now
Thanks for the get well wishes :wave:

Lady Jane Willoughby was less than impressed when she needed syringe feeding once....

Hope Blakey's being more co-opertive now

Aaaawww, bless her!
Such a funny look on her face! Very displeased but still smiling as she thinks she's managed to deflect some, lol.

It's getting a little easier and we've cut right back on the critical care as she's started eating some bits again, phew. It's the Fibreplex that's the difficult bit but more because the syringe is too big for my little hands and I can't control it properly so more often than not, the whole dose shoots out and lands anywhere on her face, oops, ha ha.
