The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Panacur for E.C. prevention?

this is probably very old news on this forum by now but my vet told me when I took Tao in for Her VHD yesterday that if I give both buns the panacur for 9 days it protects them against E.C as well as worms.

I didn't know anything about this so wondered if you guys were all familiar with it?
 
A very thorny subject! :) No-one really knows whether non-active EC can be controlled by a 9 day course of Panacur - it may help, but it may not. Certainly the active cases need at least 4 weeks, if not 6.
