I personally don't like scruffing as it freaks me out because I believe they are susceptible to having their eyes pop out if scruffed incorrectly(?). Having said that my vet does it with no concerns.

Our one little one is on long-term oral liquid antibiotics and we syringe her her medication twice a day. If you find it difficult to do this, try getting mealworms and cut the head off, them let the hamster eat the 'guts' which will leave a hollow inside the worm. Inject the medication into the hollow inside the worm and let the hamster eat the worm. Its gross but it works!
