LOL.. you sure are brave giving any ferret a pill...
Anytime the med I want to give is in pill form I put the pill in a syringe (some pills I have to crush or break up to get into some sryinges) oh and I usually use a 3cc syringe... I pull up about.5 to .75 cc or water and allow the pill to dissolve.. hot water and shaking help the pill to disolve faster.. if I don't have to give for several hours or until next day I leave syringe in fridge with pill dissolving slowly...
When dissolved or the next day when it's time to medicate again I syringe specified amt of liquid w/dissolved pill into pocket between ferret teeth and cheek and hold mouth closed - gently, nose up and stroking throat...
Hope that helped..
