Tokki keeps getting pinworms every few months, despite my thorough attempts of getting rid of them.
Tokki (1.5 Y.O.) lives indoors. He is always fed the same store-bought hay/pellets and isn't much of a vegetable lover, nibbling on a broccoli or a carrot every so often. All fruits and veggies he gets are thoroughly washed under warm water. Tokki doesn't share a room with any other rabbits (still trying to bond my boys, the other one lives in another room. He has only gotten pinworms ONCE and never again).
I use Panacur to get rid of the pinworms, following the instructions on the box - and it works! I even give him an extra dose two weeks after the worms have cleared up to make sure they're all flushed... just to find that he has pinworms again a month later.
Do pinworms just never die? Or does my bunny keep reinfecting himself through food/water/something else? How is this happening and will I ever be able to prevent it? Or should I stock up on Panacur for the upcoming years?
