One of my rabbits stopped eating, so I took him to the vet and he was prescribed Critical Care for Herbivores, which is a powder to be mixed with water and fed through a syringe. He is very fussy and I have no one to hold him while I feed him. Does anyone have suggestions? I tried to put some on his favourite treats and veggies but he is too smart for that.
Any help is appreciated!!

I have two other, somewhat related questions, if anyone can help:
1. My vet said he is simply constipated and he needs to work his poop out. Yet she tried to push xrays ($500) on me. I've had this exact problem with rabbits before, and I have never been told to get xrays. Is this even necessary? She said there is absolutely nothing wrong with him other than his pooped being back up.
2. The vet also prescribed a medication, to be given once a day for two weeks. They didn't have any of the meds left at the vet's office, so they told me to go to a human pharmacy to get the prescription filled. Unfortunately, they only had it in pill form, and I have to wait 3 days for them to order the liquid form. Is this going to be a big problem? The pharmacy took the prescription paper, and the vet didn't write the name of the drug on my invoice so I don't even know how critical it is.
Thank you!! Sorry for the long post.
