Panacur, do you routinely give? for EC?

When I popped Shadow to the vets a few weeks ago my ace new vet suggested giving both buns panacur as a precaution.

Do any of you already do this? Should I?

I just got a text from the vet to say Susan's is due!!! (they are so good at information)

I'm just about to search for previous threads but any advice is greatly appreciated :love:
 
I have had two Rabbits with EC in the past, but I don't give panacur as a precaution.

I have read that giving it too much can prevent it from being any use when needed, and I have also read that panacur is useless to prevent and cure against EC......there is so much out there that you really just need to decide what you want to do.

Never give it routinely, apparently it can cause it to be less effective if ever needed.

Does this go as using it as a regular wormer too? I treated both my bunnies when I first got them but haven't done it since as i'd heard this
 
From what I have read and understood, yes. That's why I don't routinely do so.

All new bunnies to my household get a 28 day course but apart from that I only re-treat if anybun is showing symptoms.
