Yes I've always used food if Doughnut doesn't like the taste of what I have to give her and won't come over for her syringe.
I've always used weetabix for medicines as it soaks it up but herbs are good or a bit of banana. Just something to take the smell and taste away. She actually used to lick panacur out of the bowl but maybe she's a strange bunny. Does your bunny definitely not like the taste?

You can certainly put it on to food, if they will eat it
I have never found anything that they will eat with Panacur on it, so I have to syringe it straight into their mouths. A treat afterwards, of course

Piece of banana, scoop a little piece out, fill the hold and put the "top" back on. Works a treat for mine :thumb:

Useful thread, thankyou! I will try this on Lopsy: he's never been given it but he'd also never been vaccinated so the vet suggested a prophylactic course. He loves food and hates being handled, so hopefuly this will work!

Surely you don't mean the vet suggested a prophylactic course of Panacur as an alternative to vaccination? :?

Nooooo! I might be a bit surprised at my vets' thoughts sometimes but they're not that bad! They were more worried he might have it because he hadn't been vacced

I like this thread...mine completely refuse the syringe in mouth thing...Forest can handle it, but Ferni kicks about so much I worry about her back, neck, legs.. everything. Havn't dosed Panacur routinely as yet, cos heard from some valued RU'rs that it lowers the drugs effectiveness if and when anything goes wrong...and then the 'treatment doses' are less effective... if needed it's a 28 day treatment isn't it? I think i'll be trying all these great ideas in succession during that period.
