They can be active & not have symptoms. And some of the symptoms would be hard to see if not close up- cateracts/incontinence etc.

there is little evidence to suggets that there is EC in the wild rabbit population so it is not something you have to worry about

thats good news i'm a little confused tho as to why wild rabbits wouldn't succumb but a pet running on the same garden could be at risk:? that's my next reading mission - inquisitive nature:roll:
