Hi

My rabbit was at the vet yesterday and given Lapizole to treat E Cuniculi and I am also giving him a small amt of Metacam. He has not been eating so I am syringe feeding every hour a small amount of recovery paste and a little water with pineapple juice. I haven't seen any pee or poo since yesterday.

Am i syringe feeding enough or should it be more frequent/less and can I do anything else to help him?

His symptons are a slight head tilt, circling occasionally and weak legs.

I have another rabbit, should I start a course of panacur for her as a precautionary measure?

Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks
 
RE other rabbit, should I start a course of panacur for her as a precautionary measure?

it may be wise to treat other with Panacur , to be on the safe side ,see below quote and link

The best preventative measure we can currently recommend is a 9 day course of Panacur Paste for Rabbits every 6 months. If your rabbit has had E.cuniculi diagnosed previously, then treat every 3 months. If you are going to be moving house or getting a new rabbit then we recommend that you treat for 9 days again.

and i'll get some panacur for my other rabbit while i'm there.
