EC bunny

My bunny Flopsy has EC. She is currently 1 week into her panacur course and she is on Metacam. She has recently been having a problem with her back legs and dragging them. However the past few days she seemed to be improving greatly which I was so pleased about. But today she is dragging her legs again. Is this normal for her to be starting this again?? Also i was wondering what I could use on her cage floor as she has stopped using her litter tray. She is an indoor bun and has a dog cage as a base, she never gets locked in it as she has free range of my dining room. I have been putting megazorb and hay down where she has been weeing, but its so messy and gets stuck to her. Im now considering putting a towel down with fleece on top and changing it every free days. Any ideas to what would be best??
 
I hope Flopsy is feeling better soon.

I am fighting the same battle. I used fleece for a while, but have recently changed to vet bed. Its very absorbant so soaks up pee well. I am then using hay and carefresh or megazorb at the other end of the cage.
 
I hope your bunny feels better soon to. Its an awful thing this ec.

Thanks for the advice on vet bed. I will get some from my local garden centre and give that a go. Its just that without anything on the bottom of the cage Flopsy ends up wet with pee.
 
Thank you.

I found that a lot with Flynn too. He was soaked with pee and miserable no matter how much i cleaned and dried him. I found normal fleece made him smell and other bedding stuck to him like you said. Vet bed, though dear, works a treat. I hope you find it works well for too.
