I dont think theres much you can do tbh. From what i can gather, alot of buns have EC, it lies dormant and can be bought on if the bun is ill/stressed etc.
My bunny is very poorly at the moment, and the vet said today hes showing alot of signs of EC
The 9 day course of panacur is useless, a 28 day course is used when signs are shown i think... someone with more knowledge will be along soon xx
Sorry new bunny owner what is EC?
my vet said today she recommends a 28day course of panacur every 6 months to try and keep it at bay if theres any chance a bunny has been exposed.
you can get a blood test to check for ec, alvins came back negative so had he remained single i would not of panacured again, but since the blood test hes been to the rescue and came home with a new bunny. only option is to panacur them both and hope niether have it.
I was told today by our vet that theres not much point in a blood test, as with EC the results can come back positive and the only way to really find out would be to redo the blood test a month or so afterwards and compare levels of something or other :? xxx
EC is so confusing.
I once asked my bun savvy vet whether to continue doing a 9 day course every few months and he said yes if they don't mind it, which they don't. But the other vet at the same practice said there's not much evidence of a regular 9 day course doing anything which seems to be a view shared on here.
So I don't know what to do. Mischa had about a month and half course when he was ill. The others have all had 9 days courses and I'm wondering if I ought to do them a one-off 28 days course, don't know how I'll bleach clean though, and then a 9 day top up every few months.
It is very confusing, i was advised a 9 day course 4 times a year, yet others say its not really effective!? im cleaning grace`s litter trays out twice a day with a mild bleach solution and has shes free range 24/7 i just clean her metal dog crates once a week with bleach again, i mean is that enough?? xxx
Yes that's what I mean about the bleach cleaning. How do I bleach clean an entire room?!
I know what you mean its impossible!
Im cleaning the litter trays in bleach then drying with paper towel
Then i mop the laminate with bleach every day, once a week i clean the metal dog crates with bleach, and again once a week i wash her dishes in very hot soapy water, what else can you do?

watch bleach with buns - it might be too strong, - the fumes are dangerous,
