    strawberry topping, or another flavour that you bubba likes. Sweeten up the medicine and get her to lick the plain topping first and then get her to take the medicine and topping together.
    i hear you my DD was exactly the same until she hit 5 years old.

    I agree, add something sweet.. but have you tried giving it on a spoon? I havent been able to give Jesse any medicine in at least 6 months from a dropper.. he just gets scared of it. If i put it on a metal teaspoon (as its a novelty using the big person spoon also) i never have any problems.

    Possibly sounds strange, but can your ABs come in another flavour? My Pip was on ABs last week, he absolutely loved the taste! We got the pharmacy subsitution instead of the brand name.

    Another tip given to me was to give a drop to taste on the tongue, then after that's tasted, the rest of the medicine.

    Else my dad used to mix it up with jam when he gave it to me!

    Good luck! It's not easy with a sick bubba.
