My guinea pig was recently switched from Bactrim to Baytril and is not liking the transition from sugary, pink, delicious antibiotic to the Baytril (I don't blame her because it smells awful). Is there anything I could add to help with the taste? I've read somewhere about pina colada mix or orange juice (it would just be a tiny amount if I did). Thanks!

I wouldn't mix it with anything because she might not end up getting all of the meds. If you have to, bundle her like a burrito so you can place the syringe between her gums and teeth a little easier so she gets the full dose.
