I’m assuming this is given via syringe? I’ve never had to give my rabbits medication besides metacam after a spay. Maybe you could try dipping the tip into something like applesauce or some other fruit purée to make it more enticing to him. You’d have to make sure to rinse it well afterward too. I’m not sure if that would work, but it’s just the first thing that comes to mind is disguising it as a sweet treat and not medicine. Hopefully you can get him to take it! Sorry the little guy is having to go through this so soon!

You gotta take that tough love approach! You will get better at giving the meds, and he will learn that you are not going to hurt him. It’s very good that you caught the EC when you did. 

Many BB members report that after having to give medicine, their bond with their bunny was actually much stronger, even though it was awful at the time. 

I’m not familiar with panacur, and your bun is quite young, so check with the vet on this, but you can try mixing the medicine into some fruit juice or mashed banana. Or even a drop on a cilantro leaf, if he’s eating greens.

Just know that you are doing the right thing. Act calmy and lovingly when you give the meds. Act like you are giving him the yummiest treat in the world, and follow the meds up with an actual treat (or feed his pellets after you give the meds). 

He won’t hate you forever! Don’t worry! 

As Dana said, it may seem bad, but you could ultimately grow a close bond with your rabbit.

One key is pairing the medication administration with something positive, whether an enthusiastic, positive-tone praise and pet afterwards, or a treat. Your body language and tone will mean a lot to your rabbit, so be happy knowing you’re making your rabbit healthy.

Wick got antibiotics twice a day from me, three months straight. There was also 2 weeks where in addition to that, I had to give him a shot once a day too (like, me, needle and syringe, stab his fur back and such…). Clearly Wick was not thrilled with any of this… at all. But I always, without fail, would drop the syringe to the side right away and pet him and tell him what a good boy he was and give him a small treat if he seemed especially shaken for that instance.

Wick is now happy and healthy, and he loves me too much…. haha.

I had to give Rookie medicine 3 times a day and one of them was an injection for over 2 months. It was a hassle and he didn’t like it but he always forgave me. I made sure to comfort him and give him a favorite treat after each ordeal. By the end he would fight me through the process but stick around to collect his reward instead of running and hiding.
Your bunny will never not forgive you. If anything it will bring you closer as I believe they know that we are just trying to help them get better. At least that’s what I felt with Rookie. I can only hope that he knew to the very end how hard I tried to get him healthy again.

Rookie was the same that good luck trying to hide medicine from him…he always knew regardless of what I tried…and try I did…and failed…lol

I found  that catching him in his carrier and lifting him from there onto a table where he got bunny burritoed the easiest method and least stressful for the both of us especially since Rookie was never the one for being handled. I also found it easier to give the syringe when I could sort of squat under him so I could see his mouth. then after I would just let him initially hop away then after I would just put him down where he would eagerly await his deserved treat then run off and give me the grumpy treatment until I laid down next to him for some pets and cuddles.

you’ll be fine and it will be easier and over with in no time.
