Hey:)
Im hoping someone here can help me. I took my rabbit to the vet today and he was given an injection of Emequell (for his gut I think) and some Metacam (painkiller).
I stupidly forgot to ask if he can continue with his course of panacur or if the drugs could react with it.
Does anyone know if they will or should it be fine to give him his panacur today?
Thanks
 
I dont know what the Emequell is, but its definately fine to give the panacur with Metacam.
I'm pretty sure it will be fine with the other drug, but hopefully someone else can confirm.
 
Emequell is given to ease vomiting and nausea, (even though rabbits can't vomit) for what reason did you take your bun to the vet?
 
rabbit was a bit quiet and a bit off his food (is acting normaly crazy now and is eating more)

Thanks very much:)
 
Emequell is a brand name of metoclopramide, at gut stimulant (also used as an anti-nausea drug for humans and other species). It's fine to give a the same time as metacam and panacur. It is best given two hours apart from zantac, I believe :)

thank you:)
That would explain it...i usually listen to what he is injecting into him but said rabbit had just kicked me in the face so was a bit out of it:lol:
 
Is the panacur being used to treat for something specific or is it just to routine preventative treatment? If it's just routine I would stop treatment whilst he is a bit upset. It's a safe drug but it will still add a little bit of stress to him, even if it's just the stress of being forced to take it. You can do the preventative treatment again once he is better.

One of my other buns was showing signs of EC, so all of them are on the panacur....about 17 days into i think.
He is being a good lad and taking it off a treat. I dont know what was up with him earlier to be hounest as he seems fine now:lol:, trying to worry me i guess.
thanks:)
