obviously evan been diagnosed with EC been treated for 28 days with panacur and has a follow up blood test to check his titre level
but how do i prevent him getting it again i've gone quite obsessive, bleack weekly, feed from a height, no hay in litter trays bit how do i prevent EC spores on his veg? how do people get their veg really clean?
am i just being bit dense? :oops::oops::oops:
on a positive note since the EC diagnosis and treatment he has been fab not nearly so bad in his chest vet has a theory that as his body was chock full of EC he's been struggling in general so everything else been made three times worse than it should have been. Not sure if i agree but clinically at the minute he is really well. Also should i panacur him again in 3 months
 
Panacur does not 'cure' EC as such. It simply reduces the number of spores circulating. The actual protozoal parasite itself will have been excreted from the Rabbit long before clinical symptoms present.

Personally I am not pro giving Panacur repeatedly, I am of the belief that over-use of it could do more harm than good.

But you need to be guided by your Vet with regards to Evan

Routine hygiene measures as you have described should be sufficient. I am not sure what you mean with regards to 'cleaning Veg' :?
 
The vet said all his veg should be washed but i just wash it with warm water but wasn't sure if this gets rid of the EC spores if there is any i'm probably letting my ocd run away with me and over thinking as usual.
I have contacted the D!ck vet and just waiting for a reply i not sure if the titre level is negative this time and i follow all the good hygiene whether i would actually need to re do the panacur course.
He's just so well at the minute i really want to keep him well
