Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Oh bless him! xx

I have found that these work quite well and it's not as though they will be having them longterm so they are highly unlikely to cause any harm
Other tricks people on here have used include making a banana and medication mash, meds on a spoon sized shredded wheat, meds inside a fresh strawberry, meds mixed into a spoonful of veg or fruit baby food.
Good luck !
when it's indicated so I actually always do that straight in the mouth. Not too sure if the same applies to the Panacur paste, I have never used it. I think Baytril is the most evil tasting of the frequently prescribed oral meds. I can state that I agree, it tastes as bad as it smells !
