Each syringe contains 4.8 g of oral paste, equivalent to 900 mg fenbendazole, as a ready to administer oral anthelmintic and anti-protozoal for domestic rabbits. 1 g contains 187.5 mg 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.

Only treat rabbits weighing greater than 2.5 kg with this product.

To prepare the Panacur Rabbit syringe for the first use, remove the syringe tip and turn the dial ring until the edge of the ring nearest the tip lines up with the zero (0) on the tube. Depress the plunger and discard any expelled paste. To protect householders, discard any unused paste into tissue and immediately dispose of via the household waste. The syringe is ready for use. The plunger has 18 graduations, each unit corresponding to 50 mg fenbendazole. Determine the number of graduations needed based on the body weight of the animal. Turn the ring on the plunger to the corresponding graduation.

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.

The following preventative treatment course of 20 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight is recommended:

For rabbits weighing over 7.5kg, an extra syringe graduation is required daily for each additional 2.5 kg bodyweight (20 mg/kg)

For rabbits with clinical signs associated with E.cuniculi the following treatment course of 20 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight is recommended:

For rabbits weighing over 7.5kg, an extra syringe graduation is required daily for each additional 2.5 kg bodyweight (20 mg/kg).

For single treatment course only.

Direct contact with the skin should be kept to a minimum. Wash hands after use.

Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating the dosage.

For animal treatment only.

Keep out of reach AND SIGHT Of children.

Do not store above 25°C. Dispose of empty packaging and any remaining product in the household refuse.

4.8 g syringes and packs of 10 x 4.8 g syringes.

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.
