Babette was started on Panacur yesterday. She has been on antibiotics for months for the upper respiratory and during that time she has increasingingly exhibited symptoms of ec. (falling over, hind leg weakness etc..no head tilt or ear infections)
I started her (myself with assist from Randy and this forum)on bicillin last week and she is doing well on it and now the vet ( ? rabbit saavy ) has placed her on panacur suspension which was bottled at the vet's office . I am told to give 0.5 cc per day but the mg amount is not on the bottle.
Since the vet doesn't treat large animals I am going to assume this is the suspension for small animals which is packaged at 25 mg per ml which means she is receiving only 12.5 mg perday. I think the dosage for rabbits is 20 mg/ kg so babette should be receiving a littl over 50 mg per day at her wt of 5.4 lbs.
Am I right that this is a serious underdosage?
I could switch her to the horse paste but I have no idea how much to give of that as it is 100mg/gm
The vets are not receptive to me interrogating them on what they are doing.
