Pinworm?

[Zass]

I was helping a friend handle a couple culls and spotted some of these:

I think I saw this on a different thread, and it was identified as pinworm.
Is that right, wrong? How should it be treated?
She will be looking at this thread, and sorry about the photo quality, all we had was the archaic trac phone camera at the time.

I think I saw this on a different thread, and it was identified as pinworm.

That was my thread:

I can't tell from your photo if you saw the same thing. They looked like clear little threads about 1/4" inch long, and they moved. They were in the intestine, but the photo you posted looks like the cecum (sometimes referred to as the large intestine), and I am not sure if they colonize that as well.

Treatment options are discussed in the above thread. I only dosed mine with pumpkin seeds and lamb's quarter... I decided to wait on the pharmaceutical drugs until I processed more rabbits to see how widespread the problem was, and thankfully never saw them again.

Here is the type of lamb's quarter that grows here:

These things looked whitish, not clear, but we honestly didn't look very closely and there wasn't very many of them. It is possible that we only noticed the whitish looking ones. hmmm I found these links online.
