I am getting a bit concerned. On reading various threads on here and elsewhere there seems to be an increassing assumption that Bunnies who display symptoms of weightloss and/or excessive drinking 'probably have EC'
People are being advised to 'Panacur the Rabbit'.
Personally I think the first advice I would give is to get the Rabbit thoroughly examined by a Vet. Whilst EC may be implicated and a 28 day course of Panacur may be appropriate there are numerous other conditions that can cause weighloss and/or excessive drinking.
I worry that newbies might assume that just doing a 28 day course of Panacur will address any potential problem and they may delay taking the Bun to be examined by a Vet. Thus a non EC related problem may get overlooked.
