Treats for administering medicine

[BigBlueHen53]

I personally haven't had any success with this method. Hopefully one day I will be confident enough in handling them that I can smoothly administer a pill or syringe directly, but have had a lot of trouble with it so far.

It helps to have a helper to hold the bird so you can use two hands. Or wrap her snugly in a towel and hold her like a football under one arm so she can't argue about it. Def takes practice!

Does she like applesauce?

usually, but I am finding she's not keen on fruit/sweet treats at the moment.

Ooh, that's tough. Um. Yogurt?

Will probably try some yogurt. Peas and egg yolks seem to be working for now.
