Lapizole addiction??

Lol, I think people who don't know what lapizole is think its something your are taking and have gotten addicted too.

For people who don't know, Lapizole is a common worming medication and used to treat EC.

Its flavored with aniseed which rabbits go crazy for.

Its the aniseed isn't it? They love it!
 
I know what Lapizole is! Just didn't know what the circumstances you are describing might be! :D

Ha! Just realised how it reads! Not me :oops:

My OH seems to think that Dangermouse is actually addicted to it as she goes so crazy for it so thinks we should wean her off it instead of just stopping. I just wondered if anyones buns had been addicted or if it's a common thing :? I'm not so sure she is addicted tbh
 
I suspect it's less to do with addiction and more to do with the fact that she likes it! If you opened a big bag of sweets for a group of children at the same time every day, they'd soon learn to come running and beg at that time of day, and would be terribly grumpy if it didn't happen! It doesn't mean they're addicted, it just means that they like it a lot :lol:
 
I wish I could get lapizole in my country, I've heard that rabbits like the taste better than panacur. I tried really hard to get some imported but it wouldn't go through customs, which is silly because fenbendazole is over the counter. Its so hard when you have several bunnies and you need to treat them for 28 days and they don't like it, its really hard work.

I can imagine how hard that must be, even though she loves it, when she was having Emeprid and Baytril at the same time I was soaking 3 or four pellets, squishing them down and then mixing the meds in with them to make it less stressful for her than trying to force feed her (they both HATE baytril).
