Hi, I'm new to the forum and I just wondered whether you could give me some advice. I was really worried about my house rabbit, Phoebe, on Sunday because all day she didn't seem herself. She just kept lying down stretched out - like she usually would when she's relaxed - but she was doing it all the time and so she obviously had a tummy ache. Her tummy felt quite gassy and was gurgling. She didn't eat anything all day or night so I rang the vet first thing Monday morning.
Then on Monday afternoon she seemed quite a lot better and even ate a tiny bit of celery and she was running around like normal again. But as we were getting ready to go to the vet I noticed that she pooed and there was a long worm like thing coming out of her. I'm afraid I do not know of any vets specialising in rabbits and I just wanted to know whether you have heard of this condition in rabbits and whether the symptoms she has would all be down to a roundworm infestation? She has been prescribed Panacur 3mls a day for 5 days, does this sound reasonable? She also has some Bio-Lapis for her water.
She's an agora and I was so worried that she was suffering from woolblock but would the worms explain all of her symptoms?
Any comments/advice would be very welcome!
