Piriton - tablets or syrup?

[dollyanna]

I need to get some Piriton for Odin but I'm wondering if the syrup is safe and might be easier to get into him than tablets? He is pretty good at taking liquids in raspberries, but not sure he'll be the same with tablets, and from experience I know they are really bitter!

He needs 2mg bi daily.

I’d check with your Vet as the Syrup contains alcohol, albeit in a minuscule amount. It doesn’t contain Xylitol though, which is the usual problem when considering giving paediatric human meds to animals, so it’d probably be OK

The tablets contain lactose and Rabbits are lactose intolerant, so theoretically I guess that would need to be considered. Again the amount will be minuscule so may be irrelevant.

Has your vet suggested this? Mine worked out the child's piriton dosage for my rabbit, which is the liquid and very easy to give

Yes of course, I wouldn't try it without their reccommendation or approval She said tablets but I can't see him being happy to chew them, they taste awful, and are so tiny that crushing them runs the risk of losing a lot. I'll give it a go, he might surprise me! He needs to take it himself, I haven't yet found anything that he will accept by syringe that I could hide it in. Maybe I can sneak a tablet into a blueberry.

So you have used the syrup? There isn't a child's piriton and an adult's there is just syrup and tablets, but the syrup can be taken younger than the tablets. I can work out the amount from the dosage we need.

Great thank you, I can work out the amount, I know the dosage, will try and get some today!! Just wanted to know it was definitely safe to use for rabbits as my vet only had tablets (not rabbit specilist). I think Odin would accept syrup better!
