Question
Hi Dana,
Hope you're doing well. We had corresponded sometime ago about my 7.5 year old male bunny who recently took to a chronic bout of mucoid enteritis that has been bothering him for nearly 3 months now. The last time we "spoke", you had recommended giving Marquis a shot. I finally managed to find it online but it's very expensive ( $200 a tube). Is there a way I can get a smaller quantity somewhere?

Please suggest.

Thank you. Appreciate all your help with my bunny's health.

Regards,
Keerthi

Answer
Dear Keerthi,

If you suspect this might be due to coccidiosis, then give toltrazuril sulfate a try.  It has been shown to be very effective against coccidia.  You can get this much cheaper than Marquis.  It goes by the brand name "Baycox", and you can probably get it in your country.

If not, here is a site where you can order it without a prescription:

Hope that helps.
