Hi all,
Following my previous thread -- Since Keelala has passed away due to kidney failure, I have just adopted a female rabbit called Doppie, to keep my male rabbit Stressy accompanied.
At the moment, their cage is separated by two panels which they can merely see each other. Basically, it is a big indoor cage, sharing the same floor, but separated by two grid panels.
Due to the past experiences, I've taken Doppie to do the blood test anyway, just in case if she has any hidden illness, she can get the treatment earlier rather than later.
The blood test result shows no problem with the kidney, but she has E. Cuniculi. So vet suggested to take panacur for 9 days, both Doppie and Stressy, although Stressy’s Panacur treatment is not due until Jan 19.
Stressy used to have Snowie as a partner before who had E. Cuniculi as well, but they still lived in the same cage for 3 years, and Stressy has not been transmitted.
I have not yet introduced Doppie to Stressy, but I think I can start doing so after 9 days treatment, do you think so?
Also, I am not sure if I should bring Stressy to do the blood test as well? he has never done it before.
Should this Panacur treatment be carried out every few months instead of every 6 months?
Any other things I need to be aware of during this period and after they start the bonding procedure?
Any advices would be appreciated.
