What age can you give panacur to babies?

Hi,

Hope you don't mind me asking but I am struggling to find this online. It is looking highly likely I will be getting my little 15 week old bunny. Once I have him, I'll be booking him in ASAP for his vaccination shortly followed by his neutuer.

But I'm just wondering when shall I consider giving panacur? And will I also need to give this to honey as a precaution or am I going over the top a little?

Appreciate people's advice! :) xx
 
Most of us seem to agree that it is unnecessary to worm rabbits unless there is some evidence that the rabbit needs to be wormed.
 
I've always been advised by the Vet that worming is unnecessary unless there are symptoms.

Good job Lily
 
Hi everyone, thanks for your comments and that's absolutely fine.. Saves me a job! :)

I was only asking as an exotic specialist ages ago actually recommended to me that when introducing a new rabbit to a current bunny, you should always worm as a precaution so nothing un towards may be passed on from the new rabbit. But that's fine, and thanks everyone x

Some people do, some don't. I would do whatever you feel comfortable with.

I would maybe assess on a 'case by case' basis :D Not sure if that helps!
