Inhibits coccidian parasite development by interfering with the pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway, disrupting schizogony and gametogony stages.
Generally well tolerated. Limited data in some exotic species. May cause mild transient GI signs.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for rabbit may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Diclazuril pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in rabbit — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
