Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

I would consult with a Vet and seek advice re giving them a course of Fenbendazole at an appropriate age. But apart from that or terminating the pregnancy there is not much more that could be done.
What symptoms does the Doe have. Will she be well enough to support a pregnancy to full term and to give birth ? Then there will be 6-8 weeks of feeding the kits.

No, Panacur does not 'treat' the effected organ/tissue. It eliminates the spores from the bloodstream. Once any symptoms of EC present the parasite itself will already have been excreted. The use of Panacur is to try to reduce the amount of spores that the parasite will have shed whilst in the bloodstream. These spores are what can go on to cause the damage.

As far as I know weakness around the back limbs. I will know more later.
Well it may not even be EC. She could have a spinal injury which occurred when she was mated up. Poor Bunny
