HOW TO: Syringe Feed Medications to Guinea Pigs
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 25 Oct 2015
Giving medications (usually antibiotics) orally to guinea pigs is probably something most guinea pig owners will have to do at some point. In this video I show how I administer Baytril to Twiglet, who is on a course of antibiotics after being diagnosed with an ear infection.
** I am not trained in veterinary medicine, my knowledge is based on owning guinea pigs for over 10 years. For expert advice please see your vet **
Hopefully the tips in the video will help you if you ever have to administer medications for your own piggies in this way! Here are some links for more great advice:
