hi as you are aware bonny is very poorly at the mo and there is a very good chance that it is E cuniculi.

i just called the vets and asked if i could have some panacur to administer to my other bunnies but i was told to wait until i see the exotic vet tomorrow. surely if it is given to bunnies as a matter of course then why should i wait till tomorrow.

I am very much concerned about bonny and the last thing i want to happen is for my other buns to get the possible e cuniculi. surely it won't do the any harm!!!!!!!!
 
I looked into panacur a lot and it is a very safe drug for rabbits, and its very hard, if not impossible to administer an overdose to them. I can understand your wanting to do something today rather than tomorrow, I am the same way. They sell Equine panacur at feed stores, garden centers and sometimes petstores, you could just call around to find out who has it. :)

Hi, as the others have said it will do no harm. Get the panacur and get them started, regardless of what the vet said. I'd treat for the 28/29 days (mind gone blank). If it is EC then the preventative 9 days isn't enough.

As jane said you can get Panacur in various places including PAH. Give your closest one a call and see if the SQP is present to dispense.

Good luck x
 
It's 6 weeks for an active case of EC. I agree - give PAH a call and see if you can get hold of some Panacur. Good luck!!
