...is how Richard at Trinity Vets has described my boy 
Poor lad is still testing positive for EC - the medication is just not working and he's still drinking and peeing like a horse. There was tremendous improvement back in November - but since losing Harley he has gone backwards and we're not making any headway at all.
So he is coming off all meds now. They aren't doing anything - he has been on Panacur as well as the other stuff and that has made no difference at all.
As Richard said - they are still learning about EC, and each rabbit is so different in their response to EC and the medication. It seems that Bobo just doesn't respond at all
BUT - Bobo is still his normal daft self, he's loving his food, he hopes out everyday and bumbles around and very often we hear this thundering of hippo's upstairs - which of course is Bobo having Bunny 500's. So for now - it's all about quality of life and keeping a close eye on him. If he shows any other symptoms - then we're back to the vets.
I am very VERY grateful (and touching wood) that the only symptoms the boy is showing is the excessive drinking/peeing - there seems to be no neurological signs. And Richard did say that many rabbits live quite happily all their lives with positive EC - so it's just about managing it.
AND - another positive - it will help my bank balance. These monthly blood tests are a bit expensive at £200 a pop - especially as Bobo has to be under GA for them! Last week he bit Richard quite hard as well (shouldn't but I did giggle when I heard that).
Taking each day as it comes - and appreciating that we have a Bobo each and every day. He was our first rabbit - and very special to us
