New Kit
Hi guys, I'm completely new here (first post) so please forgive me if this is under the wrong section.
I got my first bunny ever exactly a week ago today and am really still finding my feet when it comes to looking after him but so far so good- we are learning together!
As i had no clue whatsoever what I was doing, initially, I turned to the internet and discovered the importance of getting Luz vaccinated, wormed and eventually neutered. With this new information, I took him to the vet last Friday and got his vaccine and the vet also recommended a wormer which is covered by his insurance. They had messed up our appointment and so had to squeeze us in which meant that it was the vet nurse that showed me all about the wormer (I think its pancur?). She was lovely and made it look really easy, explaining about the gap between his front teeth and molars and to put the syringe in to there. When I got Luz home, it was all going great with the worming for all of about a day. He isn't daft and now he won't take it. Ive tried holding him down, wrapping him up, holding it near him so that when he takes interest and goes to chew it I can squirt it in (I had the most success with this) and I've tried putting it on his pellets but now, I have run out of ideas. I still have 3 more days to try and give him it, please can someone suggest a way that isn't going to completely stress him out!
Also, the vet nurse told me to give him 2 graduations a day which i have been doing for the last 6 days but today I properly read the leaflet, looking for an easier way to administer it, and realised that it says 1 graduation for every 2.5kg. He's only just 9 weeks and probably doesn't even weigh that so now I'm really worried about what I may have done to him!! What do you recommend? Please help!
Sorry about the long windedness of this and thank you for your responses xx
