    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.

Saw this on one of Pippin's poos this morning :( Is it a worm?

Yes it's a worm, no need to worry they are completely harmless and a course of panacur for both buns will clear them right up. I think you need to do a couple of deep cleans too, but I'm not sure, I've never had to do it myself.

Okay thank god.
I'll get some Panacur on Monday and treat them both. I'll ask about the deep cleans. I have another bunny but he's separate to my bonded two, shall I Panacur him too?
 
I found one of these in my rabbits poo a few weeks ago - vet said not to worry (really good rabbit savvy vet!)
Vet said that they don't routinely give out panacur for worming because some worms are normal - they only advise it in rabbits with heavy burdens so it's not massive thing to worry about! You can get a faecal test done at the vets to see if they need worming :)
