Hello All
The vet told me Hermy would love the taste of the antibiotic but let me tell you she hates it with a big H, when I hand feed her a piece of green with a bit of antibiotic on it, she gagged and spit it out this morning I thought she would be sick. The only way she will eat is if I put the antibiotic on a piece of greens and put a little piece of cactus pear on it. Could it be bad for her and for her health if I feed her 3 little pieces of cactus pears every morning for 21 days?
Or does anyone of you have another idea?
Thanks :)

I think if she will eat it that way do it. She should be fine with only 3 little pieces of cactus pear a day.

Thanks Robyn
That way, he will not be traumatized every morning :). (sorry before in the thread, I called Hermy a she, If he knew that, Hermy would be a little confused :)

Is the antibiotic a liquid? You can inject it into a strawberry, or scoop out a tiny hole in a bite of cantaloupe and put it in there. Don't worry about giving him a food-stuff that's not supposed to be good for him. If you can get him to eat the antibiotic in that food, it will be ok. Its only temporary!

Hello Yvonne
Yes, the antibiotic is liquid. The strawberry is a very good idea since he loves strawberries.
Thanks :)
