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.

I think my puppy has worms even though he has been wormed i think there was one in his poo. Can anything be passed to the rabbits as i was reading and found about feas passing eggs from dog to cat etc?
Grateful for any help. :?
 
Yes, rabbits can ingest worm eggs from other animals including dogs.
The fact that you have seen worms in your Puppy's poo means the worm treatment is working!!
You need to ensure that your Bunny does not graze on ground defacated on by your Pup. Clean up all Pups poo too!!

Which wormer have you used?
 
not sure what wormer was used it was done by the breeder when we picked him up. At the moment smartie is good and doesn't 'go' any where near the rabbits but i will take extra care.

Thanks for your advise i was a bit scared. Smarties is off to the vets on sat so i will ask for some more meds for him.
I feel a bit happier now :D
 
As Tamsin said, he needs worming regularly as a pup, usually every 2 weeks, the vets will tell you this on sat. Wat sort of pup is he? any photos? :D
 
we have had him just over a week now so this coming sat it will be two weeks since he had treatment. i feel much better now i was thinking i was goin to have to take all three dogs, and three rabbits to the vets for treatment and then all three humans to the docs :lol: think i was over reacting a bit. another question regarding this, my cat lives with my mum and dad and i saw her at the weekend is there any chance that i may have passed worms from smartie to the cat?

Ruthie - he is a little collie, i put a piccie on the forum last week but in case you missed it, here is another.
