Help!!

My rabbit, Bailey has lost some weight, I don't know why and its been over the last few days that I've noticed.

Anyway my question is does anyone know the dosage for panacur in rabbits? He is definitely eating so I was thinking maybe he has worms?

If this was my rabbit I would take him/her to the vet. I would also take a fecal sample for testing.

Yes I agree - definetly take to the vet!
Keep us updated.

Hi Hannah,

I would also suggest a vet visit for a fecal. While parasites may be the cause of the weight loss, there are numerous others. And while Panacur is a wonderful drug, it is not effective against all parasites. And like with any other drug, there can be some serious issues if used incorrectly.

Thanks, I have kept, bred and shown guinea pigs all my life and it was only in 2006 when I added a pair of rabbits to my collection. I have a guinea pig who is due to go to the vets for some ear drops, so I will take Bailey along too.
