It's a liquid though and not a paste? Should I still mix it in with her pellets? Thay would be so so much easier.
This is her 4th day post up but there still seems to be LOADS of it left. She does seem so much better as of yesterday! So maybe I don't need to get so stressed if she won't take it all...

I might just do that. I'll give it a go in her pellets and if she still isn't having it I'll give them a call. They had a horrible start in life before rescued and aren't very trusting. I'm only just beginning to get their trust and have them stop running and hiding every time we enter the room and things so I really don't want to set that back either.

You guys are diamonds! [emoji4] popped the medicine on food this morning and she snapped it up! So much less stress! Thank you! Now just the stress of trying to rebond at the weekend! x

So I've had 2 successful bonding sessions now. Used the bathroom as neither had been there before. Had one session of 30mins and another of 20 (Lola seemed a bit more stressed out tonight so cut it short...she had just been for her vet check a little while earlier though) in both sessions she was really really wary of Buster and any time he goes near she freezes/bolts/bangs but in both nights he only actually chased or nipped her once which I think is good. And they both recovered from it well. I made sure to end the sessions when they both seemed relatively relaxed and gave them a bit of individual play time and attention each! [emoji4]any other suggestions on how I can get them back to living together happily would be gratefully received! [emoji4]

I'm really really struggling with this bonding. Lola gets so stressed out when I try to move her to the bathroom to bond (only neutral/safe area I have) that I think she is too freaked out for bonding to work. She is jumpy and banging before I even introduce Buster to the room! I have got an area in my kitchen cordoned off now as they tend to stay in the other half so I thought it might work but even now she is banging at being made to go in there and it's not a 100% neutral space either so I'm really scared about introducing Buster. Help! Should I do it or not?
