I just had to write that I do this with other meds as well and it
works wonderfully!!! When my ferret was on .5ml of Clavamox, I
pulled that into the 1ML syringe, when then pulled .5ML of ferretone
and just held him in my arms and he just licked it all right out of
the syringe - no flinching, no scruffing, no fighting. It's also
worked for Bactrim and Pred as well. Almost makes giving meds a
joy! :-)
