It is easy to force feed them with a syringe, which is very important when dealing with a sick rabbit that can not really eat. I have used it on quite a few rabbits including different breeds and know of others that have as well. This is something that is even approved by our rabbit specialist vet. | |

| Jun 12, 2014 at 16:06 | comment | added | James Jenkins | We did consider Encephalitozoon cuniculi o& Baylisascaris procyonis, with visits to multiple vets, who all concurred the onset was to rapid to be either, and no sign was found on physical exam. But you are absolutely correct that these should be first line considerations. | |

If you do not feel comfortable using it then don't. FWIW Rabbit.org also lists a few foods as OK to provide to rabbits that are dangerous to them. | |

| Jun 10, 2014 at 17:44 | comment | added | James Jenkins | Do you have any references to support the use of yogurt? My sources indicate it is not desirable and potentially fatal | |
| Jun 9, 2014 at 21:27 | comment | added | Critters | @MattS. - I know of breeders who preemptively treat their rabbits every 6 months with Ivermectin(the US version). I think that it is dangerous but thats my opinion nothing to back it up. The Yogurt I do anytime I notice one has soft stool, and it is pretty safe to give them a limited amount. It is better they eat yogurt than nothing but better that they eat their hay and feed than just yogurt. I like to treat with small dabs of yogurt occasionally. | |
