Reviews of rabbit breeders

Vladimir, Samara: Unfortunately, I have had bitter experience with coccidosis. Once I lost a whole livestock of rabbits from it. Now I am focusing on prevention. I do not wait for the young to get sick, but give Solicox to the rabbits immediately after weaning from the rabbit. I drip 0.2 ml each on the first day using a pipette. It seems to me that drinking in this way is better than diluting with water. The next day, as it is written in the instructions, I already give 0.3 ml, and on the third day - 0.4. Now I have forgotten what coccidosis is! Very long and I advise everyone.

Sergey, Pskov: I have been buying Solidox for rabbits for several years in a row and it has never let me down. It is very convenient to use - I draw it into a syringe without a needle and solder each animal separately.They are healthy and active rabbits!

Oleksandr, Kharkiv: Before, I had not even heard of this drug, and to tell the truth, I did not attach due importance to the prevention of diseases. I thought rabbits were easy to keep, but they turned out to be very gentle and vulnerable. They require careful care and appropriate conditions. Special attention should be paid to the health of the rabbits. I realized this when my animals got sick and I was just in despair. I went to the veterinarian, he advised the drug Solicox. Give it according to the scheme, as expected. A very good medicine!

Marina, Sumy: Before breeding rabbits, I decided to study well the conditions of their keeping, as well as possible diseases. I found information about Solidox, and after its successful use I was glad that I was not mistaken in my choice. Now it doesn't come out of my veterinary medicine cabinet.
