Hello everyone.
My bunny Milo is currently 3/4 of the way through a course of Panacur for e,cuniculi. He has permanent headtilt from his first infection when he was very young and this is the third time he has had it. Because of the headtilt and the fact that he is quite big I use the liquid Panacur for puppies and kittens rather than the one for rabbits which is a paste, with my vets permission, as this is easier to administer.
However I realised today that the Panacur paste is 18% Fenbendazole and the puppy/kitten version which I use is just 10% Fenbendazole.:shock:I'm wondering if this is the reason for his repeated infections. We just aren't knocking it back enough. I used to use Lapisole for another rabbit I had years ago which is liquid and for rabbits but you can't seem to get it any more.
He is definately improving on the 10% version and usually starts to feel better after a week but of course I continue dosing for 28 days.
I'm not sure whether to get the paste and start the course again with that but to be honest I think I would really struggle to give it to him.
Any ideas gratefully recieved! thanks
