I guess he's wise to me sprinkling it on a piece of banana now. Either that or he's decided he doesn't want the banana.

So I don't think he even got half of it (half a capsule every day is the dose), should I mix another half in some water and syringe it into him?

Awww Mimzy! What a stinker! I can't blame him though. I hate medicine! I can't offer any suggestions for how to handle that but... Good luck!!!! (((vibes!)))

Well, we got it in him today, but..I think I could've used less water. >.< I think I refilled the syringe 5 times at least. I thought I only added about a tablespoon at the most. ~_~ But he drank it down like a good boy.
It's a little 0.2-1.0 ml syringe, but yeah...he was getting tired of it by the time we stopped.
A little simethicone went down as well, his tummy still feels all ballooned up to me and he was thumping like he usually does when his tummy hurts.
Plus we had more snuggles. ^_^ Too bad I can't let him free roam at present, I think he'd be the best sleep aid I could take. I start petting him and my eyelids close automatically. Which scares me because God forbid I fall asleep with him loose and he gets into something he shouldn't. (Which we know all bunnies do!)

EDITED TO ADD: You know, it just occured to me that 5 x1 ml syringes of water might have not been a good idea, seeing as bunny's tummy was already pretty full of what felt like gas. Did I do wrong? He seems okay at the moment, but I don't think we'll go this route again anyhow.

I'd like to know if there's a better way to get it washed off too, rather than just warm water and cloth. It seems to pill the fur and I can never tell if I've gotten all the Pen-G. Perhaps I should just dab it at first with a tissue and see if it soaks up into that and then wash...would weak dishsoap or even vinegar/water be okay?

I really do think that just taking a wet washcloth and rubbing the fur between your fingers with the washcloth) will be fine.  You can have a little cup of water with a wash cloth next to Mimz and that way you can dip the half of a wash cloth in as you continue to clean and then use the other half (dry) of the wash cloth to just dry off the fur.   I don't think vinegar would be good to clean the fur due to it's acidic nature.   (more irritating to skin and eyes I would suspect).  Plus, I just don't think that the vinegar is going to do any better with getting out the pen-g than just plain water. 

if you are still worried about, it would be better to just get a pet safe gentle soap. But tomorrow, if you have any questions about it ask your vet if she recommends a particular soap if she thinks that just the water is not enough.
