This little guy is 8 weeks old, and I got him a little over a week ago from someone who took in a pregnant rabbit without knowing and had a surprise litter. I took him to the vet for his vaccination and to get checked out, and it turned out he has coccidia. It's not very advanced, as he has no symptoms except for periods of pooping outside the litter box (which I read could be a symptom but I don't know). The vet said it's pretty common and nothing to worry about (even though Google makes it sound pretty serious), but he'll need liquid medication for ten days. I was hoping someone here could give me some pointers for how to successfully administer the medication. We're on day two, and this tiny bunny turns into the hulk at medication time. He fights like crazy and makes it so hard. I can tell he hates the taste, and hates having a syringe pushed into his mouth. My daughter has been helping by giving it to him while I hold him still, but he fights so hard that it makes it nearly impossible. We've been trying to put it in his cheek like the vet said, but he kicks and moves his head away and makes it so hard. Is there a trick to this? Any help would be deeply appreciated, because we have 8 days left to go.
