Do any of you regularly treat buns with panacur?

Hi,

I wondered whether any of you routinely treat your buns with panacur?
I've been reading about worm infections, EC and how this can be spread by fleas. One of my buns has been poorly recently and had blood tests etc that didn't show anything up. I wondered whether it may be worth treating him with panacur just as a precaution.

He only weight 1.3 kilos so I don't know how much he would need and whether it's advisable or not.

Can anyone advise?

Hugs,

Hello,

He hasn't been tested for it.

He wasn't right a couple of months ago. He had x-rays, dentals, blood tests, but not for an infection. He was poorly for over a month, lost weight. I had to syringe feed him. He would just hide behind the sofa hunched up and looking miserable. His guts slowed down. The vets never got to the bottom of it. He has been fine the last month and then on Friday he started hiding away again and looking miserable.

I took him to the vets yesterday as I thought maybe his molars had grown. He had a few small spikes on his bottom molars that were filed down under gas. The spikes were small and were not touching his cheek, tongue, mouth. Yesterday evening he was miserable and hid away all night. I have visions of a repeat performance of last time when he had over a month of being miserable and nobody figuring out what is wrong with him.

I wondered whether it could be EC. I hate seeing my little man like this. What are the symptoms of EC?

Love and hugs,

Nicola and Harvey xxx
