I have managed to get the hang of giving Daisy her medicine by syringe but the latest one is a capsule with tiny granules inside which I have to divide into 5 and give once a day. I thought I would try mixing with her fave lettuce but she was wise to that and would not eat it! It is very fiddly getting the granules into a syringe and if I crush them and mix with liquid I am concerned that she does not get the full dose if I cannot get the dregs into a syringe. Any ideas?
 
What is it you are having to give her?
 
My vet gave me something powdery once and suggested cutting tiny bits of cucumber and sprinkling it onto the cucumber and hand feeding in tiny bits. Cucumber is lovely and watery, soaks up the powder and my piggies love it. I fed it by hand before all the other veg at snack times. Worth a try?
