Daves been prescribed bay
tril for respiratory infection. But he's being a sod for taking it. I've tried syringing it into his mouth. Using honey. Putting it on treats, mince, worms. He just won't take it. Any one got any.tips they could share with me? He's really stressing me out with it.
Thanks

i have one who won't take it on anything so i was given a good tip . if you wrap them in a towel so just thier head is poking through the top and tip them back and then gently lift the lip with the syringe they will open the mouth so you can squirt it in. i found this worked or you can inject live mealies with it then feed them those, hope this helps x
