Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given. Simultaneously with treatment, you'll need to ramp up cleaning of your rabbit's hutch and play area, removing all faeces until the infection clears up. Additionally, you must be cautious of wild rabbits entering your garden, especially if they have access to areas where your pets have access. Because rabbits are less susceptible to worms, you do not need to treat them when they are young. If you have any concerns or suspect worms, consult your veterinarian. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action and any preventative treatments available.

Worming treatment is a type of anti-parasitic medication that typically kills live worms and eggs. It is simple to administer and should cause no discomfort to your rabbit. Rabbits may carry diseases, which may be spread from one to another. One such disease, which may lay dormant for months and so may evade detection, not showing any signs, is called Encephalitizoon cuniculi (EC). It can both be tested for, and treated, although treatment is not always 100% effective. Ideally, prospective rabbits for pairing should each be tested before mixing, and, if EC detected, treatment started (It requires a 28 day treatment course). If both are negative, then treatment is not required. Be cautious: E. cuniculi is zoonotic and can affect humans too, especially those with weaker immune systems. You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Caring for your rabbit There is a legal prescribing cascade which means that if there is a product specifically designed for that purpose in that species, then your vets have to prescribe it. I'm not sure exactly where they would stand on this, as they are not giving you the 'rabbit' product, yet it is still the same drug. You should regularly clean your rabbit's hutch and keep dogs and cats away from their grazing area. Additionally, you should immediately clean up any other pets' mess in the garden. Foxes should be kept as far away from your garden and any areas where your rabbit may graze as possible. If you notice any evidence of a fox, remove it immediately.
