Advice on giving ear drops please

My Margarita has red ears inside but not an infection so the vet gave me some drops. She got the drops at the dr and i was able to give them to her the next morning after i finally got her in a towel. Now she sees me coming with the towel and bolts! I tried with out the towel and she will not let me grab her, if i do then she goes wild. I dont want her hurt her or scare her but i need to give her her meds. Does anyone have any advice on how to get her to not freak out. I have tried everything possible, food, laying with her, treats. Shes very fast and a little to smart :)

I also have a call into the vet to see if there is an oral medicine i can give her. She takes meds from syringe without any problems.

Thanks so much! :wave:
 
Sorry I can offer no advise as I (touch wood!) haven't had a problem with my rabbits' ears. Just Pip's eye but I think she like it as she let me do it every morning when I needed to do it.

Just bumping this up so that others can see.
 
Thanks, eye drops are not a problem for her either it just seems to be something going in her ear that makes her uncomfortable.
