Diclazuril is a potent antiprotozoal agent widely used in veterinary medicine to combat coccidiosis—a parasitic infection caused by Eimeria species—in rabbits. Administering Diclazuril for rabbits helps in controlling and preventing the proliferation of these parasites, thereby promoting the overall health and well-being of your rabbits.
Common Symptoms of Coccidiosis in Rabbits:
Diarrhea or soft stools.
Weight loss and poor coat condition.
Reduced appetite and lethargy.
Enlarged liver or abdominal swelling.

2 kg × 0.02 mL/kg = 0.04 mL per day
