Thank you :wave:
The majority of rabbits seem to become infected with EC from their mothers. Infection can also occur when something contaminated by urine containing EC spores has been ingested. Approximately one month after the rabbit is infected it begins to shed EC spores via its urine. Spores continue to be shed for approximately 3 months, but can be shed throughout the rabbit's life.
What are spores??
Sorry I don't know if this is helpful but it can be used as protection for EC, it is a wormer but I've known rabbits who keep up to date with panacur still getting EC. My vets told me about the importance of vaccs and did mention EC when I registered Beano with them but they didn't explain the importance of it so I don't think they found it neccesary. But they're your rabbits and your choice to get them wormed or not :wave:
I'm interested in this thread beacuse my vet says they should be panacurred twice a year for 9 days at a time. I have seen varying views on this now. It would be great to know the reasons why this shouldn't be done now.:wave:
