I need to worm the girls again and unless I take them (each!) to a vet and pay a consult fee I can't buy decent wormer so I'm stuck with something I have to add to their drinking water. (Kilverm - active ingredient is Levamisole).
The girls went on a drinking strike today - I only put out 500ml of water (with the wormer in it) and they didn't drink more than a sip each. This was after I took their water away 2 hours before sundown yesterday to make sure they'd be thirsty. Then it blimmin rained so of course they're drinking out of muddy puddles and still ignoring the medicated water.
Since I don't have the option to dose them individually is there another way to get them to drink it?
Can I perhaps use the medicated water to make up some (uncooked) oatmeal? Or soak bread in it?
