Im having a hard time finding out what EC is and wondered if anyone experienced over it could let me know the symptoms and how you can test for it?
I started a thread a few days ago about how to get weight on my bunny Stumpy, but i have been worrying myself sick over him. he was brought to the vets in september with suspected urine problems. he was given a course on baytril and around the same time i changed the litter i was using in their tray. for a while now i have believed that the reason he was having urine staining is because the litter i had used previously just wasnt very good and Stumpy has a habit of sitting in the litter tray. i now believe that his symptoms have been masked from me the last month or so because the new litter has been too good and isnt leaving him with as much staining.
He has lost ALOT of weight. i weighed him this evening and he only weighs around 800g around august time i had weighed him to give him mite treatment and he was 1.4kg then so im really worried about him. im ringing vets first thing in the morning to get him booked in but just wondered what to expect. what could his symptoms be linked to? EC has been mentioned to me before and was mentioned to me by the vet when i brought him in september so im wondering how they can test for this? is there anything else i could ask them to test him for?
I feel so awful, i was just so sure that he was ok. he is eating fine, comes running for food just like the others. unfortunately its hard to know how much hes drinking as he has always lived with another bunny and now lives with another three. he isnt acting any differently but i just know there is something wrong. my baby is so thin
any advice is really appreciated. sorry for starting a new thread about this but as the other was asking for advice on how to put weight on and this is about illnesses i thought it my best chance to get some advice.
