Hershey is a male, neutered Dutch rabbit, 5 years old and I've had him since he was a baby.
He has had tapeworm twice. The first time I treated him twice, as directed, with the med the vet gave me. Several months later, I had reason (weight loss) to believe he had a tapeworm again. We went to the vet, got the meds and treated according to directions. Now I am pretty sure he has tapeworm again!
The part I don't understand is shortly after the first bout of tapeworm, I started treating him with Advantage for fleas every month. He has been on it continuously since.
In the summer he can go outside, but it's winter, so he hasn't been outside since Oct.
Sooo, where are the tapeworms coming from?
