Hey there, never had a paste before, but did have a pill. A few questions- is this long term? If so, before I was crushing up the pill and putting it on a banana, or in a grape. He surprisingly got tired of those and I asked my vet about a compounding pharmacy, and they were able to make him a liquid. You could try also maybe hiding it in a little bit of fruit of that’s not an option?
I used one of those “syringes” the bigger/wider ones used for oral application. I had to resort to using it because mine stopped eating the food I coated in it.
It sucks, but you’ll need to be a little more resolution than you might normally.
There are likely lots of videos that demonstrate this.
What kind of medicine, like a fibre supplement paste that comes in a syringe already?
If not you can try the bigger gauge oral syringes like the 60ml ones, get it behind their front teeth and basically force feed them gently but with a treat afterwards.
You might just have a stubborn bunny who hates the taste but you can often train them to like it with liberal applications of patience and treats.
