Thanks for reaching out about Moko. Even though fenbendazole is the appropriate treatment for e cuniculi, the other ingredients are worrisome in a rabbit. Lactose can lead to abnormal bacterial overgrowth. Corn is not digested well in rabbits and can also lead to GI upset. Straight fenbendazole is recommended.
Good luck.
