New Kit
To cut a very long story short, my eldest bunny now requires long term medical care to keep her comfortable and pain free until her time comes, or until we need to make the decision if her health decreases
Our bunny savy vet has prescribed Metronidazole 0.6ml twice daily, Baytril 0.5ml twice daily and Metacam 7.5kg twice daily. The antibiotics will be used for several weeks and then she'll be on a break, it'll continue like that for the foreseeable future until decided otherwise. The Metacam will be ongoing without a break (she'll be happy with that as she loves the stuff).
My biggest concern is ongoing stress of providing medication twice daily, mainly Baytril as I'm aware it isn't very tasty for bunnies. Does anyone have any advise on how to make it more enjoyable, and more of a treat than a chore? I'm mixing it with juice currently but I'd rather not have to pick her up twice daily or disturb her, where possible, I'd rather train her to come to me for a yummy treat for her medicine.
I'm just relieved she's not in pain, and being her normal moody self, just need to make sure I don't cause additional moodiness (':
