So my bun has been sick for the past 4 weeks or so (runny, snotty nose, sneezing, etc.).
He's been on oral antibiotics for the past 2 weeks and last Saturday his antibiotic got changed as the type of bacteria he has was resistant to the first type.
Anyway, giving him the medicine with a syringe wasn't much of a problem... until last night. He's just refusing to take it and he seemed to like it before (it's flavored).
He keeps struggling, jerking his head, kicking, and I'm really scared of hurting him. I tried wrapping him in a burrito but even that is not stopping him from moving his head. We managed to give it somehow (with some spilling) with the help of the husband, but I'm terrified of trying it again tonight.
Any idea as to why he's refusing to take it all of a sudden when he actually seemed to like the taste before?
Also, could I do anything to make it easier to give it to him? (I need to continue giving it for another 2 weeks and the thought of this is stressing me out already.)
