So some of you may remember that back in May time Sparky had a seizure which turned out to EC.
On Sunday we got Honey out for a run in the kitchen, she was a bit unsteady but we thought it might have been because she is having a massive moult and had loads of fur around her feet. She was moving around, eating, drinking, using her litter tray etc.
Last night before bed (11pm) though I found her laying on the floor with her head to one side and she had basically folded herself in half. When she tried to stand up she started spinning in circles.
Immediately transferred her to a padded carry case and dug out the panacur, metacam, zantec, gut motility drug, syringes and recovery food.
Thankfully she didn't need the food; she was chewing and drinking all night long.
This morning her head was more level. OH took her to the vet and the exotics vet, who is very rabbit savy and literally saved Sparky earlier in the year. She said that Honey is displaying typical EC symptoms but it does seem that only her head/balance is affected because she can hold herself up on her legs and she really doesn't like being exposed to light.
So OH came home with more panacur, metacam, zantec, gut motility and syringes.
We are treating all the bunnies with a 28 day course of panacur as now this year 2 out of 5 of them have had EC. The buns are all separate (which I know isn't ideal but we got them all at different times and tried various bonds but none worked) but I don't why they have both had it. Ever since Sparky had it earlier in the year I have been super paranoid about disinfecting and cleaning but it hasn't been enough and I am so worried that Sparky might have a relapse and that the other 3 will also get it.
What can I do to stop this? Are there any cleaning products I can get that will minimise the chances of EC in my buns?
