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.

I use the 10% liquid, cheaper, easier to calculate an accurate dose and easier to administer.

I thought one tube wouldn't be enough.. I've paid for an 15ml Metacam and got a 3ml bottle and paid for a 28 days treatment of pancuar when it's not near enough in one tube.. I'll have to go back tomorrow and have a word..
Thank you.
There are 18 gradations in one tube of paste. The dosing mechanism is not precise-- I was told it doesn't have to be qbsolutely exact, which is good because the counter wheel is so clumsy. For our little bun. 1.6 kg, he gets a gradation (from top mark to bottom) per day. the bigger bun is 2.75 kg, and gets a bit more than one gradation-- I just hold the counter wheel between gradations with my finger while pushing in the plunger. Ours are happy to take it on a little sliver of toasted bread. Good luck, Shebunkin

Yup this. Interestingly the first couple of tubes I got when Misha had head tilt the wheel was great and would move easily but would stay in place when administering. Now the wheel moves far TOO freely and it's difficult to gauge.
I would worry with the liquid that I'd give too much. Plus Mischa and Mini love the taste so take it freely from the tube.
Officially you should give one whole graduation for any rabbit 2.5kg or less.
I've been not giving him enough I've only been giving him 1/2.. I'll up it from today to one
