Dusty - treated for EC now has head tilt??

My 2 have had a fair amount of Panacur, as it seemed to take more than the standard 28 days to eradicate the E Cuniculi. Well, neither of them has ever shown any signs of a head tilt but, today I have noticed that Dusty seems to have a slight head tilt.

So I am thinking, does this mean the EC is back yet again, or is it just a sign of damage from it? They were only at the vets yesterday. :( :( :( Vet thought (as I did) Dusty was doing quite well, and it is Clover who isn't, and is being given another 9 days of Panacur.
 
Sorry to hear things are still tough. My Marcy's head is tilted, interestingly more noticeable now than before, not massively tilted, just mild. I chose not to treat her again with the Panacur at present though I am on my guard. Looking back, it is far more tilted following treatment than after it. Some buns have ongoing problems from the EC such as head tilt and a bit of incontinence. But I understand that your predicament is that Dusty now has a tilt rather than having it before. I suppose Marcy is the same. Not sure really, maybe see how he is over the next few days.

Is Clover still battling stasis Sarah?
 
Thanks Fiona. My heart sank when I noticed it this evening. :( Clover has to have another 9 days of Panacur, so I'm tempted to do the same with Dusty.

Clover's not too bad today - a bit off yesterday, but good today. I have brought them inside now, so I can watch them all the time, and they are getting so much exercise. They spend their whole time charging up and down the stairs! :roll: :lol:
