I am a newbie to this forum so please be gentle with me :oops:

I have bought my first ever rabbit several weeks ago so I am learning all about looking after him and feeding etc

I have noticed that on his droppings there are a few white wiggly worms so I have bought PANACUR wormer for rabbits to hopefully cure it.......................but my dilema is is that when i brought it from PETS AT HOME the bloke said give once daily for first 3 days and then every month but when I got home the instructions state once a day for 9days for preventative regime or once a day for 28days for treatment regime for e.cunicali

What treatment process would you all advise me to give to JUST get rid of the worms?

Thanks for your help in advance

Kieron:love:
 
my boy had worms i took a sample to my vets as they had actually never seen real worms,

you need to weigh him first then work out the graduations

min of nine days, to do 3 days then every month is silly as like most things immunity will build up otherwise


i did actually do all my buns for the first time for 28 days, then when the same bun got worms again i did them all for 9 days now i only routinely do the one bun twice a year as he is prone to illnesses he has a weaker immune system, than my other buns,

though none of my other buns have ever had worms even his partner has never had them
 
Thankyou all for your help, soooooo glad I have found this site now seeing as I am a newbie to keeping a rabbit (not sure the feelings mutual from all of you seeing as I will be bombarding u all with questions lol:lol:)
 
Questions are always welcome here - we all have them!

It wouldn't do any harm of course to pop bunny along to the vets (make sure its a rabbit savvy one - someone on here is sure to know one in your area if you would like a recommendation) for a general health check. You can take along a poop sample and vet can look under the microscope and see exactly what you are dealing with. He should also advise you about vaccinations (myxo & vhd) which you should get done asap, as well as neutering, give the teeth a check and advise about diet.

Welcome by the way :wave:
