I twice suggested that to the first vet; he glossed over the idea.

Panacur is the brand name I've seen thrown around a lot. (Itseems to be the main drug used as a safety net, evenwhen parasites can't be found from a fecal float.)
Droncit is a new one on me. Do you happen to know if it's commonly given alongside (or shortly after) a round of Panacur? Just wondering what's the "norm," so that I know before any vet may tell me differently. :?
Thanks!Panacur to treat for most small worms is available off prescription (so potentially you could do it yourself), although tapeworm treatment (Droncit), has to be done by a vet.
(just so you know

Panacur (Fenbendazole)is very commonly used and seems to be veyr safe (I've used it on all mine at least 5 times, I do it regularly) and have never had a problem.
The Droncit is not commonly used on rabbits. Tapeworm is not known to be common (although I have wondered if it was more common than previously believed because I suspect people maybe miss it, I know I would have had it not been down to Angieluv) and so the treatment is also not common. My vet had never had it happen in a bun before so had to talk to the drug company as to what was best to do (We went for Droncit injections, and each of my 17 had two injections each, with no side effects other than a thirst immediately after). So this is not done at a specific time, and most vets would not even consider it, but that does not mean that it should be ruled out, and it may be the cause of gut problems (it did in Summer, my foster, although not anything like you have described, she just got excess cecals VERY easily). Might be worth a think about. I believe Angieluv used Droncit tablets with her buns. We steered away from those because my vet felt he would prefer to be more precise with injections (but that was personal choice, so knowing about tablets does give you another option).
