Over the weekend one of my rabbits lost his appetite and his poo output reduced. So I took him to the vets and they kept him (and his bonded partner in). They gave him MELOXAID pain relief, EMEPRID gut motility and ZANTAC anti acid. His output is better and he is eating on his own, so this evening they have discharged him.
However I now need to continue the drugs regime for the next 5 days. I've never done this before, he doesn't like being handled (although tolerates nose/ head rubs). If you have any tips that can help me reduce any stress for my bun when I'm administering the meds I'd be very grateful.
I've looked at You Tube and also tried to find previous posts and have learnt
1. to prepare the syringes in advance so I'm ready to administer
2. some buns will take meds on weetabix/ shredded wheat
If anyone has any tips please post
Thanks
