Blue's results (From other forum)

His brain scans were clear but he's tested positive for E.C

I need to do some more research and speak to my vet in detail as I'm very confused...surely E.C's a brain bug??

I've also discovered he HATES with a passion one of my other boys (Chi), it was probably him he smelt before he attacked me, although I hadn't touched Chi
 
At least his Brain Scan revealed no lesions :)

EC can effect the brain if the EC spores migrate there causing an inflammatory response in the brain tissue. This, in turn, causes the neurological symptoms (head tilt, weak hind legs etc) EC can also effect the Kidneys, Heart and the lens of the Eyes

One 'possitive' EC blood test just confirms contact with EC not active infection. But most Vets assume a diagnosis of EC in a Bun presenting with clinical symptoms and one 'positive' blood test.

Some more info on EC here

Did the Vet prescribe Panacur for Blue and any 'in contact' Buns?
