Specific operation: use a needle to suck out a proper amount of medicine, prepare a few snacks, put them in a place that is easy to reach at hand, find a small stool to sit on, hold Tutu on his knee, and then feed him snacks first. He will be very happy and won't be wary of your medicine, then prepare the syringe with his right hand, feed him snacks with his left hand, and then gently lift Tutu's chest and front paws to fix Tutu's upper body and head. In short, take medicine while it is unprepared.

Note: When feeding medicine, the syringe should be fed from the front side of the rabbit's mouth, in order to avoid the rabbit's front teeth. In addition, the action should not be too fierce, and the syringe should not be sent too deep to avoid stabbing the rabbit's mouth. In order to observe Tutu's mouth conveniently, the upper body can be as close as possible to Tutu.

Advantages: simple operation. Generally, the rabbit's mouth will not be completely closed when chewing, and it is not necessary to pry the rabbit's mouth open. Rabbits are unguarded and have no resistance, and the taste of snacks will also mask the taste of drugs. Rabbits will not feel too uncomfortable and can be used repeatedly.

When Tutu is asleep, it is best to wrap Tutu with a towel (convenient to fix), then slowly pick it up (hold his front paws and upper body with his left hand and hold Tutu towel tightly, and hold the towel and ass with his right hand), turn Tutu over on his knees, and touch his head, eyes and mouth to coax him. Adjust the towel, only leak the rabbit's head, wrap other things, especially the front paws, fix the rabbit's head with your left hand, hold the needle in your right hand, put the needle in your mouth while the rabbit sleeps and inject it quickly. You can also hold Tutu on your knees and let him sleep slowly before surgery. The function of the towel is to fix it. In case of medicine leakage, it can be wiped clean in time, so as not to dirty the rabbit and yourself. As the case may be, towels can be dispensed with.

Caution: When feeding medicine, don't send the syringe too deep and poke the rabbit's mouth. Because Tu Tu will wake up after taking the medicine, a larger dose is not appropriate. Grasp the injection speed, don't let the rabbit choke on water, wait until it is clear, and avoid letting drugs enter the nasal cavity. Make sure to be gentle all the time, and don't wake the rabbit before feeding the medicine ~

Repeated use of this method will improve the alertness of rabbits when they sleep, or wake up as soon as they hug. It is becoming more and more difficult for rabbits to fall asleep before giving medicine.
