Rabbit breeders reviews

Vladimir, Samara: Unfortunately, I have a bitter experience in dealing with coccidosis. Once, out of it, I lost a whole population of rabbits. Now I focus on prevention. I do not wait until the young are ill, but I give solikox to the rabbit immediately after weaning from the rabbit. I drip each 0.2 ml on the first day with a pipette. It seems to me that this way of drinking is better than diluting with water. The next day, as written in the instructions, I give 0.3 ml already, and on the third day - 0.4. Now I forgot what coccidosis is! Very long distance and I advise everyone.

Sergey, Pskov: I have been buying Solidoks for rabbits for several years in a row, and he never failed me. It is very convenient to use - I type in a syringe without a needle and solder each animal separately. They are healthy and active rabbits!

They require careful care and appropriate conditions. A special shot should be given to the health of rabbits. I understood this when my animals became sick and I was just in despair. I turned to the vet, he advised the drug solikoks. Give it according to the scheme, as it should be. Very good medicine!

Marina, Sumy: Before breeding rabbits, I decided to study well the conditions of their detention, as well as possible diseases. She found information about the drug Solidox, and after its successful application was glad that it was not mistaken in the choice. Now he does not come out of my veterinary first-aid kit.
