Betsy
Anniversary Herd
I have trained Meg to come to the bars of the hutch to take her Metacam morning and night. Tonight when I was giving Meg her medicine, Betsy nicked the syringe and before I knew what had happened she had had half of Meg's Metacam! Betsy very much enjoyed her treat as she was licking her lips afterwards and looking very pleased with herself. Meg gets 0.3ml twice a day as she has arthritis in her spine so Betsy only got 0.15ml. Patsy nicks the empty syringe out of Megs mouth occasionally when I don't take it out of Meg's mouth quick enough so just has a tiny taste. Betsy has never done this before so Patsy must have been teaching her. I can see I'm going to have to be more careful in future and make sure it's only Meg who gets the syringe with the dose of Metacam and nopig else.
