Quick Question about panacur

oscarbunny · Jun 8, 2008

Oscar bunny has got wormies :/ well i found one, and it was definately a worm, and it was almost certainly it is this type of worm http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Parasitic_diseases/Passalurus.PDF

Anyway.. my question is, will a 9 day course of panacur for all bunnies be appropriate or does it need to be longer?

bleurgh, worms! has he been panacurred before? Sooz recommends a 6 week course to start and this would eradicate worms fo' so' i reckon, in a 9 day course they'd probably reinfect themselves by nippling on poops that contain eggs.

get ready for dead ones coming out on poops after a few days, i felt sick!

Bella had worms six months ago - I'd been putting off panacuring them for weeks because I thought it would be a nightmare getting it in them, but when I found worms I knew I had to do it.

I just did a nine day course, the worms went after a few days, and they've just been done again for nine days - and after all the worrying it was a doddle giving it to them - even more so this time round now they're bonded.

For conventional parasitic worms 9 days should be OK but it's not unknown for rabbit to manage to reinfect themselves by ingesting eggs

so some people use two 9 day courses back to back.

The 6 weeks is for EC infestations.
