Panacur & Lapizole

Hi everyone...1st post!
Do most bunny owners treat their buns against E.cuniculi or is it something that you do if you're just mega cautious?! I've read that you can use Panacur for 9 days 2-4 times a year as a preventative measure, do you use Lapizole in exactly the same way? Lastly, is it cheaper to buy from your vets or does anyone know a good online supplier?

Buns are currently at the vet being spayed, I'm very worried bout them :(
 
It's one that no-one really knows the answer to, but as someone who had 2 bunnies with undiagnosed EC for 10 months causing havoc with their systems (which came out just after they were spayed, but no vet diagnosed it for ages), I will Panacur any future bunnies, just to be on the safe side.

Lapizole and Panacur Rabbit are exactly the same. Some people use the 10% Panacur, which works out cheaper, but you have to use more of it at a time.

Edit: apologies - forgot to welcome you!! :D
