Parasites treatment

[Clair071085]

Hello everyone, one of the girls got xeno 450 today for parasites infection. She got it on at vets at 11am. Since then she’s not been active & hadn’t moved from under the bush. They like to hide in there. She came out just now & was sitting on grass. I put some hay & water under the bush & she’s been drinking. I was just a bit worried that she might have taken a reaction as it said something about this on leaflet inside med. has anyone’s bunny been on this & been lethargic like that? Perhaps it’s normal xx

I have never had a Rabbit who had an adverse reaction to Xeno 450. If your Rabbit is not eating or pooing then I would contact a Vet today as gut stasis could occur.

Hello, was just coming in here to post that she’s out eating grass now [emoji846]. Maybe it was the stress of the vets or perhaps it just made her feel a bit rubbish as some meds can do to us. Thank you for commenting that’s reassuring. I will be keeping an eye on her pooing & eating incase of gut status. Can I ask if you’d advice giving some oxbow critical care? I have some in xx

She’s eating grass now but will keep an eye on her. I’m taking them in the house tonight so I can see how she’s doing xx

If she is eating now I would not syringe feed her as that would probably stress her out again. Just make sure she starts to pass some poo in the next few hours.

It's also worth noting that if she's being treated for mites, they are often a secondary symptom of something else being wrong. Rabbits that are not grooming properly can't remove the mites. So it could be dental, arthritis, or something else behind it which would need a vet to assess.
