Anyone hear of using Ponazuril for treating coccidiosis? Apparently, fast-acting, so treatment time is greatly shortened. Here's a link w/ details: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Conten ... ourceID=52 Read last night that the hepatic type has a much longer life cycle than intestinal...

Oh, there is hope - you can't imagine my joy at reading your good news!! What's the dosage and protocol, please? I have a bottle of Sulmet on hand for if my laying flock gets into trouble, but I don't remember any mention of dosing rabbits. How did you determine your herd was free and clear...

I checked my growing photo collection of safe, wild greens for rabbits (based on a book printed in the UK) and believe the plant is nipplewort. My rabbits devour it. Would post my photos here, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. :oops: The FAQ section is no help in that regard...

Very similar to ladysown's doe, our charming GC buck - just acquired in October (along with his litter sister) - started showing symptoms in early November. (Stress of new food, water, location and humans definitely sparked the trouble.) Valiant efforts to get him back on feed were successful...

I certainly hope it's nothing worse than ear or fur mites (bad enough as they are), but keep in mind that the dreaded ringworm usually starts on or near the head of rabbits...as crusty skin and thinning hair. Eradication of it in a rabbitry reads like a horror story! Our first case of fur...

Oops! So glad you shared your plans, Caroline. I should have remembered to mention that drying nettles is best done in the shade. Sunlight destroys the nutritional value, but perhaps in your area, the drying time could be minimal. That first year, before my husband invited me to use the...

Maggie is correct concerning the mold...it is imperative that the leaves and stalks have ample air circulation to dry thoroughly. When I remove the rubberband, oftentimes, I detect moisture underneath, which I just snap off before putting the bunch in the leaf bag (try to keep the leaves...

How true, Caroline; protective clothing and heavy vinyl gloves are essential for harvesting - and even then, count on coming home with a sting or two, but it's worth it. Nutrient-wise, it's important to harvest before the plant blooms. Nettle will sport flower buds for quite some time before...

Stinging nettle is a most amazing plant, second only in nutritional value to the equally-maligned dandelion. It is especially noted for its abilities to boost milk production in mammals (humans, too) and egg production in poultry. Seeds are available in many catalogs for those who have garden...

Nothing would please me more. We often visit Boise to visit family, but if you're wanting stock right away, we're heading to the Missoula area for Thanksgiving. Our route will be I-5 east to the Tri-Cities, then north through Spokane. It's a long shot, but if you're able to meet us in Pasco...

Hi, All, I'm new to the group and was excited to stumble across Rabbit Talk (Palomino topic), just now. My husband and I have a small rabbitry, just west of Portland, Oregon, where we raise Goldens. We have photos posted on the ARBA District 1 web site and Palomino Rabbit Yahoo group (see...
