Worming

Hiya

I once did a 28 day course of Panacur for my rabbits about a year ago. I was told by the vet that you won't need to worm them again unless you get a new rabbit. I forgot to ask what about boarding. My rabbits go to boarding every year so they obviously go into hutches that other rabbits have toileted in. Should I worm them again (28 day course) after they come back from boarding?
 
i'm not a huge fan of panacur re not sure of it's efficacy i tend to only worm if and when appropriate i'e if their is signs of EC and i tennd to use lapizole however i would take the advice of your vet. (i've done alot of reading on the subject of panacur after losing jamesey to EC and haven't found in concrete evidence that it prevents worms)

BUT i would take the advice of a VET
 
Its not something i have ever had to consider, but I know other people on here have panacured for 28 days after boarding just to be on the safe side. But views on panacur seem to change so quickly nowadays I don't know what the upto date view is after boarding :?
