Giving our Rat medicine.

[Uabassoon]

Have you tried yogurt? I know lots of rats love the stuff.

She likes yogurt, but won't take it with the medicine.

[Uabassoon]

Hmm, maybe baby food. Something like banana flavored.

[lv4dogs]

It is a liquid right?

Are the 2 meds combined or are they seperate?
If they are seperate but you combine them try feeding them seperate, maybe one tastes worse than the other & you can disguise the taste easier that way?

Have you tried mixing it with canned cat food?

You can also call your vet, see if they can mix with some Pet Tinic (a liquid supplement a lot of vets have that they mix with bad tasting meds). Or maybe they even have a different med that tastes better that will work for her.

I was going to say baby food, or cat food, too. How do you give her the meds alone? Have you tried scruffing her, and then using the syringe, a little at a time? Other than that, I don't know.

if she likes bannanas maybe fill the syringe up put the syringe in the bannana and push the med into it , i never had to give my rats meds mine was too sick and the others had problems with there legs so sadly they all had to be put down

Ok. I've finished giving her all her medicine (Used the entire Enrofloaxin bottle, and just a tiny bit of Doxycycline left) But she's started to make those sounds again I guess I'll go talk to our Vet and see what to do.
