If your rabbit has stopped eating, they may need drugs to keep their guts moving (to prevent gut stasis). If they have developed a bacterial infection, they may need antibiotics ( E. cuniculi can affect the immune system and increases the chance of another infection). If your rabbit is extremely unwell, they may need to stay in the hospital for intensive care and a fluid drip to keep them hydrated. In some circumstances, it may be necessary to transfer your rabbit to a specialist vet for treatment.

I would not use it! Yes, it's the same ingredient, and yes we used to use dog/cat panacur before one was licenced for rabbits, but if you look at those two links that Karen has given, the rabbit dose rate is 20mg/kg, the dog/cat dose rate is 100mg/kg, so even though the size of the syringe graduations differ, you would still be giving quite a large overdose. Also, I would suspect that they are flavoured differently - the panacur rabbit is flavoured with aniseed I believe to make it palatable for rabbits, the dog/cat one is probably meat flavoured (I am guessing at this, but that seems to make sense to me).

Panacur Rabbit

Keep their living space clean. Keep your rabbits’ environment clean, and regularly use a pet safe disinfectant that kills E. cuniculi spores. If you’re not sure which cleaner is best then talk to your vet for advice. It’s also best not to share items, hutches or runs between groups of rabbits to reduce the risk of diseases spreading between them. 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. I am almost halfway through the application of worm treatment with rabbit but am confident this product is going to rid her of worms. Thank you for offering this product when a vet visit is not isn't possible at the moment! 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.

To treat E. caniculi, your rabbit will need an anti-parasitic treatment such as fenbendazole (Panacur, Lapizole). Normally the treatment comes as a liquid or paste, and is given daily for 28 days. Other treatment Amount: Give 1 syringe mark for every 2.5 kg of the rabbit's weight. This is equal to 20 mg/kg of fenbendazole. Babies are frequently more severely affected than adults, with symptoms including lethargy, significant weight loss, and diarrhoea. For rabbits with clinical signs associated with E. Cuniculi a treatment course of 20mg/kg ( 1 syringe graduation per 2.5 kg bodyweight) for 28 consecutive days is recommended.We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done. 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. 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. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

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.

Special Precautions

E. cuniculi can cause a lot of damage to the vital organs, including the brain. This can be very serious and it may be necessary to consider putting your rabbit to sleep to stop them from further suffering, especially if there isn’t much chance treatment will help them.
