Giving our Rat medicine.

[.sarah]

I don't see why not. Only thing is, you have to make sure he drinks it all.

With Mokey we used to mix it with some soy milk.

With my ratties I used to mix it with yogurt.

I've tried juice and yogurt, but she won't take it that way either.

Is there a special way of mixing it?

[lv4dogs]

My rats have always loved their meds mixed in with other foods, especially jelly or jam.

There is really no special way of mixing it but you do need to make sure your rat will eat all of it so I wouldn't add to much food to it, just enough to mix it & cover up the taste.

Sugary foods are not that good for any animal or human but for rats it seems to drown the bad taste out better than most other foods, or maybe they are just too into the sugar to tell? At least I've always had better luck mixing it with sugary foods.

You can experiment a little too, one rat may prefer the taste of something else better than another rat would.
Maybe try adding the meds to a little bit of canned cat food? Like a teaspoon full or so? Some of my rats loved meat more so than others & they seemed to like their meds that way.

If you can't find anything to mix it with that she will willingly eat on er own you will have to syringe feed her it.
Good luck!

It's hard giving it her through the syringe. She just won't take it without me forcing it into her mouth, and even then she spits of most of it.

And it seems she doesn't like jam or milk.
