When a forum bunny is on panacur for suspected or diagnosed E.C. there is usually the advice to disinfect / steam clean their whole environment at 2 intervals (relating the life cycle of the parasite causing EC I think?)
I've never got this & really want to understand. Where did the advice originally come from? does anybody know?
The reasons I don't get it are EC is omitted through spores in contaminated urine . The risk is that its re-ingested through eating something infected with these spores. So why do people focus on soft furnishings, furniture ...cleaning everywhere. If re-infection is the worry wouldn't it make more sense to worry about what nearly all bunnies do - pee on hay & then eat it :lol: But as we know, thats largely unavoidable (although I expect regular litter changes & hay racks would reduce it)
Surely good care & hygiene is all thats needed?
