Iv never actually wormed any of my rabbits, as i never really knew about it, and iv never had any problems relating to worms before.
But as one of mine has lost weight, im going to try worm her and my other 2 just incase (the other 2 are young still, so i can get them used to it now at lest)
So i have a few questions- iv read on here somewhere some people use the pancur liquid meant for dogs and cats- firstly which one, i found 2 with different strengths, i think one was something like 2.5% and one was 10%. Secondly, are these definately safe for bunnies? And what dosage should it be? Or should i just stick with the paste?
Also, how often should rabbits be wormed? (as in once a year, every 6 months???) And for how long for- i thought it was 9 days for prevention and 28 days for cure (normally with ec), but i read somewhere last night its now recommeneded 28 days for prevention too, is this correct?
Its just one of my buns HATES medicine, iv tried placing in on food, veg, treats, no success, so its syringe time for her, which shes now learnt to chew through, and my finger if im not quick enough! So i dont want to give her the 28 day course unessacerily, but dont want to give just the 9 days if it would be better to give the 28 day course!
Thanks for your advise!
