What is Panacur paste and who is it for?
PANACUR® Worming Paste for rabbits is an oral palatable paste that is an aid in the control of Encephalitozoon cuniculi and intestinal worms. Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a single celled parasite which can cause a wide variety of symptoms including head tilt, cataracts, hind limb paralysis, urinary incontinence and sometimes death.
By using PANACUR® Rabbit regularly you can have peace of mind that you are giving your rabbit the best possible protection available.
In addition to using PANACUR® Rabbit, you should also observe some simple hygiene rules to help keep E.cuniculi away:
- Avoid collecting fresh greens from areas where there are wild rabbits or rodents
- Regularly disinfect food bowls and water dispensers (feed racks are useful as they prevent soiling with faecal matter or urine)
- Use separate rather than tiered housing to help prevent urine splash
- Place hutches where exposure to wild rabbits and rodents is minimised
