Panacur Rabbit Paste has been produced to control parasites such as intestinal worms as well as the potentially serious pathogen E.cuniculi in domestic rabbits. Panacur Rabbit has a pleasant flavour for rabbits and can easily be syringed slowly into the side of the mouth. Each syringe contains enough paste for one dose per day for 9 days (suitable for routine treatment of intestinal worms).
E.cuniculi is a microscopic parasite which infects many rabbits without causing any signs of illness or disease at all, remaining dormant for years. However in some individuals, especially after a stressful event, it can suddenly and catastrophically cause serious disease. This often affects the rabbits balance and posture, producing a marked head-tilt and a tendency to fall to one side, or hind-limb paralysis. For rabbits showing clinical signs of E.cuniculi, a 28 day course of Panacur ir recommended. See below for dosage information.
A 9 day course of treatment for intestinal worms when a new rabbit is purchased is recommended. This can be repeated 2-4 times per year where rabbits are kept in groups.
Each syringe contains 5 g of18.75% fenbendazole paste. For oral anthelmintic treatment of domestic rabbits use: 1 syringe graduation per 2.5 kg bodyweight (20 mg/kg fenbendazole) daily for 9 consecutive days. Consult your vet for further information or if you are concerned about protozoal infection (E.cuniculi).
Syringes containing 5 g of an 18.75% oral paste formulation of fenbendazole as a ready to administer oral anthelmintic and anti-protozoal for domestic rabbits. 1 g contains 0.187 g active ingredient fenbendazole.
A broad spectrum anthelmintic as an aid in the control and treatment of Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E.cuniculi) and intestinal worms in domestic rabbits.
Panacur Rabbit should be administered orally by squeezing the paste from the syringe into the side of the mouth.
Preventative regime
Administer 1 syringe graduation per 2.5 kg bodyweight (20 mg/kg fenbendazole) daily for 9 consecutive days.
Routine dosing of rabbits is recommended 2-4 times yearly.
Dosing should also be considered during periods of higher risk, such as when the rabbit is acquired, prior to mating and when mixing with other rabbits.
Treatment regime
For rabbits with clinical signs associated with E.cuniculi a treatment course of 20 mg/kg
(1 syringe graduation per 2.5 kg bodyweight) daily for 28 days is recommended.
For single treatment course only.
Direct contact with the skin should be kept to a minimum. Wash hands after use.

Encephalitozoon cuniculi is an intracellular protozoan parasite which can cause a range of clinical signs including hind limb paresis, head tilt, collapse, urinary incontinence, cataract formation and lens-induced uveitis and death. Transmission is primarily via ingestion of spores shed in the urine contaminating food and/or water.
A 2006 UK study showed a seroprevalence of 52% in domestic rabbits indicating the widespread nature of the parasite.
Panacur Rabbit is an aid in the control of E. cuniculi and it is recommended that additional preventative measures are taken such as ensuring that food and water are placed appropriately to prevent urine contamination.
E. cuniculi has zoonotic potential and infection has been reported in immunosuppressed people.

I was made aware that panacur kills the cuniculi parasite...I watched one of my best rabbits die and it's horrific....no vaccine available but panacutis is a deterrent
Customer recommends this product
We give this to our bunny after he was so ill he couldnāt walk and we didnāt think he would make it through the night but he fought on and is amazingly fit again, the vets were shocked as when we took him home they didnāt think he would get through the night but with lots of tlc he made it through and now has his panacur every three months as a preventative measure. Canāt rate it highly enough.

One of our rabbits contracted head tilt and this wormer cured the problem. As we have a lot of rabbits we gave them all a course of wormer as a precaution.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Panacur Rabbit Wormer Oral Paste, including answers from our team.
Kathrine
My bunny weights 3.2 kg how much should I give?
Your rabbit will need 1+1/4 syringe graduations per dose. This will be difficult to accurately administer so it is advised to use 1 graduation if you are not confident you can carry this out.
My rabbit Weight
My rabbit weights 2.8 kg how much should i give him
As your rabbit is very close to the 2.5kg mark then it is advised to give 1 syringe graduation per dose. As a preventative it is advised this is given daily for 9 consecutive days 2 to 4 times a year. As a treatment for E.cuniculi it is advised this is given daily for 28 consecutive days.
Helen
My netherland dwarf rabbit weighs 1.5 kilos how much panacur wormer do I give to him?
The datasheet for this product states 'Only treat rabbits weighing greater than 2.5 kg with this product.' Therefore it should not be used in your dwarf rabbit, unless your vet can advise an appropriate safe doseage.
RaeH
I have two 11 week old dutch lop x rabbits. They weigh 1kg each. How much wormer per day should I give them as it would be less than one increment a day?
The datasheet for this product states the following:
Only treat rabbits weighing greater than 2.5 kg with this product.
This means any use of it in rabbits weighing under 2.5kg is off license. Theoretically you could attempt to give 1/2 a syringe graduation to each of your rabbits but you would need to discuss this with your vet as it is not a licensed use of the medication.
Rory
How many doses does each syringe contain? If treatment is needed over 9 days will one syringe be enough?
There are 18 graduations in total per syringe, and 1 graduation of the syringe treats 2.5kg of rabbit. So this depends on how heavy your rabbit is. The average rabbit is around 2.5kg so this should last up to 18 days which will be enough for the 9 day period you need.
Laura
My doe has worms in her pop and may possibly be pregnant.
Can she still have this treatment? And should I do 28 days?
Whilst the cat/dog version of this product is proven safe to use in pregnant cats/dogs, there is no data to show that the rabbit version is safe for use in pregnant rabbits. I would therefore only use it in your rabbit alongside veterinary advice.
Ky
When is the expiry date and how frequent do i feed this? I only have one bunny who weighs 1.3kg
Unfortunately we cannot advise on specific expiries, but we guarantee the expiry date will be greater than 6 months from time of ordering.
It is recommended according to the data sheet that you treat for 9 consecutive days for routine worming or 28 consecutive days for E.cuniculi infections. There unfortunately is no way to prevent E.cuniculi or worms in rabbits completely apart from using this product almost continuosly.
Joanne
I have 2 rabbits how many syringes will I need to effectively treat them both?
Thanks
This depends on the weight of your rabbits. One syringe will provide a full 9 day course for one rabbit of up to 5kg bodyweight. If your rabbits are smaller and weigh 2.5kg or less, then one syringe will do a nine-day course for both of them. Most rabbits are in the range 2.5kg to 5kg and so need one syringe each, but some can be heavier than this and need proportionately more. You do need to weigh your rabbits first, even if it just an approximate weight.
Sam
My Guinea Pig weighs 475g how many of these syringes do I need for a preventative regime?
Most guinea pigs do not suffer from intestinal parasites in any significant way at all.There is no need or point in giving medication prophylactically like this. As long as you concentrate on providing good quality food including fresh greens/grass and a clean environment, your guinea pig should do perfectly well.
