My very rabbit experienced vet is now unsure himself as to what is the best thing to do - and he says that many colleagues feel the same. He recommended I Panacur my two at Christmas for the 28 day course (as a preventative measure) and is now just worried because he thinks that really all buns should have twice yearly (or whenever they go to the vets - as they can easily pick things up there) preventative treatments. He says 28 days now twice a year. He is going to a conference in October where he says there is going to be an update on the recommendations of Panacuring (from vet research rather than the manufacturer), so he hopes to find out more then. He feels it is safe to give this treatment again as there have been no proven side effects in rabbits, although he does acknowledge that there have been in birds?
I really don't know what to do any more. I don't want to leave my buns open to the risk of worms/parasites/E Cuni, but don't want to give them too many drugs for too long.
What does everybody else do at the moment?
I also wrote to Intervet, but they obviously say it's completely safe at the doses they recommend and don't acknowledge that there is so much controversy about it. HELP:roll::shock:
