Id been worming my three rabbits for 3 days until my french lop knocked over the whole lot so obviously ive had to stop. Ive ordered a new bottle so it should come in a few days and ive decided to only worm one rabbit atm as i suspect she may have worms (under-weight,diarrhea) because all in all it will work out really expensive. I will worm other two once ive wormed her when i have more money too. So when i re-start worming do i just start the 28 day course again or do i still count those three days? :?

The course for worming is I think only 9 days. The 28 days tends to relate to E.cuniculi. So it would depend on which parasite you are trying to treat the length of time you give it. I would certainly begin the course again if there had been a sufficient break of several days as it is the life cycle of the parasite that you are trying to interrupt.
 
worming

I would have thought you would be better worming all together, as if one of the other buns has even a couple of worms, they could reinfected the wormed rabbit who will have lowered immunity? then vice versa when you do the others. :)

I was planning on doing this but my funds have changed and ive had to buy another bottle due to clumsy rabbits :roll: I figured for a 28 day course for all rabbits id have to buy quite alot of bottles :shock: Do i really need to do the whole 28 days? or will i just give it to her until the bottle runs out? They are protected against everything they possibly can be so i dont want to risk them getting e cuniculi...
