Hello I want to worm my bunny again with Panacur wormer, however we are wondering if he currently has mites. I have purchased Beaphar Anti Parasite spot on, but it says that it is also a wormer treatment. Can I still treat him with both at the same time or will I have to wait to be able to...

Here is a close up of his chest

Hello My rabbit has begun to lose fur on his chest, and has got some flaky/scaby bits in that area. Does anyone know what this could be? I have recently had a guinea pig living in the hutch above him that's had ringworm.... Could this be the same?! Thanks in advance

Barney was taken to the vets yesterday and they have given him Antibiotics and metacam (which he was already on). She said he may have caught it which has infected it but hopefully the antibiotics will clear it up.

Just realised its actually around his penis...

Hello My bunny has got what looks like a very sore bum! Can't work out whether it's his anus or wee area... But it seems very swollen and red. I've attached some pictures so you can get the picture! Any advice on what this could be?!

I'm really sorry to hear that he has got slightly worse :-( I'm glad that your vet is being really helpful towards the situation though! I've beven thinking about putting my bun back onto metacam to see if it will help him again. He has been off it for a good few months now as I wanted to get...

That's really good :-) Is the metacam the one for cats or dogs? I was given a syringe which had units in kg on it and was told to give 7kg of metacam (according to the syringe) I'm just curious as to whether this is a similar amount to yours as I was told that it wasn't a lot to be giving for...

I'm glad the metacam seems to be working. Hopefully your bun will be more comfortable getting around now that he is on that. Did the vet say anything about using metacam in the long run? May I also ask what doseage you have been told to use with the metacam?

How did you get on with the X-rays?! Your bunny sounds exactly the same as mine. His legs seem to be fine as he will kick out when holding him etc but his back end of his spine seems to lean to the one side. I'd definately stick to the panacur and try the metacam! I saw a difference in my bun...

Hello Barney is still pretty much the same... The panacur didn't really do anything for him, but started metacam for a while and he seemed to slightly improve. He is currently off that at the moment as they say it's not good for their kidneys so wanted to see how much it actually helps him. He...

Hello again, I just wanted some advice. Barney is still on the Metacam and panacur, however 28 days will be up as of tomorrow so should I stop the panacur and just stick to the metacam. He seems better in himself and moving around a lot more although he is not 100% with his hind legs still

Barney seems a lot better since giving him his metacam. He is able to stand more than constantly lying on his side and has eaten more of his food. This is on just the once a day 7kg so when I go and see the vet I'm hoping if he ups it he may improve even more. Fingers crossed this is the way...

Thank you very much for your help! Could I ask what is vet bed? Is it a type of sawdust or is it like a mat? Also, I have spoken to the orginial vet about the metacam dose and have asked for some more on prescription until I find another vet. She said that I have to be careful with giving him...

Thank you, I live in the stourbridge area, West Midlands. The postcode is DY9 is anyone could recommend a vet that would be great! He was on the metacam for dogs but like I said he was only on 7kg once a day. He is getting a wet bum but I'm washing it off daily and as soon as I can. It's a...
