My Girls have worms!!!

Hi
I noticed that there was a small white worm in Milly's poo. There were multiple worms on multiple poos. It was shaped like a C and was only about 2mm long. I'm going to the vet on Wednesday to buy some Panacur. Should I take a stool sample to the vet? Will I have to do a 60-day course? I'd prefer if we didn't have to take the rabbits themselves as they get very nervous at the vets and I don't want to put them under unecessary stress. They are acting normal, very lively, happy, eating well, drinking well. I don't know how long this has been happening. Any help would be great. Thanks.
 
I wouldn't think it necessary to go to the vet with them. Bella had worms a couple of months ago - I'd had the Panacur in for ages but thought it would be a nightmare giving it to them so kept putting it off (learnt my lesson now :?). As soon as I saw them I started both of them on the Panacur and did the nine day treatment. They were very noticeable in Bella's poos but within three days of starting the Panacur I stopped seeing them so I would think doing the nine day course would be enough.
 
Don't know what type of worms they would be :?

Rabbits usually get pinworms, which are 5-10mm long, white, and wriggley

Agree with Becca that Panacur is probably a good idea.

This is what Bella's looked like. The first two days I saw them I thought I must be seeing things as I don't know where she could have got them from, but on day three there was no doubt :eek:. The Panacur worked very quickly once I worked out how to get it into them both! :lol:
