Today is the final (hopefully) day of treatment for ringworm. I've gotten syringing the medicine into their mouth down pat however!! But well Baker is okay but the other three either run away or flinch when I go near them. I think this is due to me "sneaking" up to them to give this medicine. Any ideas for them to get over this. In the begining of their treatments I gave treats but they soon suspected something (they are not dummies!!)

I think it will just take time. When Nathan was sick over the summer and I was constantly giving him meds or hauling him to the vet, he actually started running away from me and hiding from me and even refusing treats from me. But once things calmed down and the meds and vet visits stopped, he gradually warmed up to me again. There wasn't anything I could do but give him his space and let him come to me when he was ready.
