crazy demon gorgeous lovely rescue rabbit keeps sneezing so vet has prescribed antibs

he WILL NOT be picked up/ wrappex in a towel etc and hes been recently bonded and had a stressful couple of weeks so any tips for a stress free/reduced method for feeding it without having to syringe it to him?

We have the same problem with one of our bunnies. I've found that mashing up some banana and mixing in the meds does the trick. Just make sure the other rabbit can't get to it.

I used to have a very uncooperative bun. I put her dose in a bowl and dipped carrot leaves into it so they were quite wet with the medicine and then fed them to her. She scoffed the lot that way.

thanks for the advice. In the end I put him in the sink and held him while DP syringed the meds... he wouldnt have the mashed banana mix!

Hes stopped struggling now, think hes resigned to it! (although he does flick his back feet at me after... Wine )
