Hi Katherine!
I am a pharmacy tech. The flagyl must have been compounded to suit your
fuzzies. Instead of giving it to them on the side of the mouth, take the
dropper and let your babies lick what is on the plastic part just to get the
taste, then rub it on there front teeth ( I have 5 and had to practice this,
now they chase me for the med! Im surrounded by happy bouncy fuzzies as soon
as I open the fridge door ! ) Once they get the taste dont put it towards
the back of the throat let them lick it as you slowly pump out the med for
them. Hope this works for you, worked like a charm for my finiky lil fuzzies
!!
