Wormy baby rabbit?

[rebecca100]

I just bought about 28 rabbits (babies and all) One of the does has only one baby. It reminds me of a frog. It is about 2 weeks old and has a protruding (frog like) belly and is thin in the back. I want to know if it is safe to deworm and with what? I am afraid if something isn't done it will die.

Use injectable Ivermectin. What you for a baby is to get a little drop of the liquid on your finger and rub it onto the fur in the area behind his ears that looks like a triangle. DO NOT inject rabbits with Ivermectin, it will kill them. It should work, but might not if the worms have taken over. Good luck.
