Hi all,
I’ve got two bunnies on meds now. Flopsy is quite good taking her meds but Benji is really difficult.
Benji is much bigger than Flopsy and very strong so I struggle giving him meds. It took me 30min this morning and it was very stressful for him, I can see he is still quite annoyed about it.
He’s got an ear and eye infection and I have to give him eye drops
He’s got quite thick eyelashes which means that I have to pull his eyelid to administer the drops and he won’t let me do it. So I end up having to grab him and he’s really good at wriggling out of my arms. I am afraid I’ll hurt him if I restrain him too much and I’m afraid it’s stressing him.
He’s also on 3 oral meds. I wonder if I could mix them in with some food? What has worked for everyone?
If I can get him to take his oral meds with food then I’ll only need to worry about the eye drops.
I’ll appreciate any tips, thank you
