So my female cockatiel has yeast which the vet prescribed 0.08 cc for. I have to force her to take the medicine and today she shook her head and some of it came out. Should I give it to her on an empty or full stomach? And also how do I get her to like it can i just soak it in bread or something

Get it to her any way you can. Mine won't eat soaked bread or pellets, so I just squirt it in. Try to hold her head so she can't shake - also squirt in slowly. Very slowly.

I don't know about full stomach, maybe ask your vet.

Ok I squirted it in slowly this time and there was no vomiting this time! Thank you!
