Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

pets at home £5.??
vets £6. ??
you need to weigh your buns really
for a dutch i use just over one and half syringes for 9 days,
this is for panacur, very simple to use you cant overdoes either as the plunger has a stopper, some people use another brand i forget the name
plus i only smear it on a bit of green before dinner and doc wolfs it down, so can be easy to administer too

2 and half grads per day for lyric 18 grads on syringe 6 days one syringe, so one and a half syringes for lyric, for 9 day course, i cant work out your other bun till you have her weight,
you can ask your vet to help you work it out to be sure
would really dbl check that actually as i use the same for my dutch, but it was worked out via vets at a slightly higher does anyway as he is prone to worms strangely while the others have never had them
Rabbit Weight--------"graduations" required-----number of syringes required
< 2.5kg--------------9------------------------1/2 (half)
2.5kg - 5kg----------18-----------------------1
5kg - 7.5kg (lyric)--27-----------------------1 1/2 (one and a half)
7.5kg - 10kg---------36-----------------------2
And it is cheapest from here:

So for lyric you need one and a half syringes. If your other rabbit is less than 2.5kg then he needs one half and so for both of them you would need 2 syringes. Simples
I always keep a few spare in my cupboard just incase.

Panacur 10% liquid
http://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=175
0.2ml/kg/day for 28 days if treating for EC
0.2ml/kg/day (although some Vets do 0.3ml/kg/day) for 5 days if treating for intestinal worms
ETA Given that there was a confirmed case of EC where potential new Bun is coming from I would definately treat all Rabbits with a 28 day course.
You can buy the Panacur 10% solution but the doses are more complicated because that's mean for cats and dogs and doesn't give a rabbit dosage on the packet.

As for whether you do 9 or 28 days, I believe 9 days is still the manufacturers recommendation and I think the RWAF are still investigating the different options.
How many bottles would i need? Also ive only just had a massive order from there was delivered yesterday and today:lol::lol:
Do i need to treat outdoor rabbits as they dont come into contact with indoor ones?

My personal opinion is that every Rabbit should have a one off 28 day course of Panacur
As to how many bottles you'd need-well there's 100ml in a bottle and you'd need to calculate the weight of all your Rabbits to see how much in total you'd need. The liquid will always work out alot cheaper than the paste.

It contains EXACTLY the same active ingredient (Fenbendazole) . Its just that the paste isn't licenced for Rabbits. But that does not mean it's not safe
