I work in a vets and would always advise that you follow the vets advice, however, it is ultimately your decision whether you choose to do that or not
What is the best way to administer the liquid antibiotics? Going to start the course tomorrow but I’m not sure if she is going to willingly take it. She’s used to us often bottle-feeding her water but whether she will see it the same I’m not sure. If she fails to, I don’t particularly want to force it upon her and her feel frightened of it instead? Any tips?
