thank you very much, she hasnt been pooping since yesterdays visit to the vet.

I don’t have any new info about this but I want to wish you and your bunny good luck

I totally understand waiting to see if penicillin helps, but I don’t understand waiting further for the albendazole instead of swapping to fenbendazole.

in terms of where to buy it, I’m not familiar with shops in North America so unfortunately I can’t be of any assistance with that. But I buy it under the brand name Parazole (just another brand…[Read more]

I can understand wanting to see if the penicillin helps, especially since she did have that brief improvement with the baytril.

You can get fenbendazole online or from feed shops. It comes in large tubes meant for horses, goats, etc. (brand names are either Panacur or Safeguard). I can’t speak to switching meds but I know that fenbendazole is…[Read more]

There are times when you need the full course to see improvement, but usually you do start to see some improvements within the first couple weeks.
