Before he passed away Parsley had been fighting a discharge from his eyes for several months. A fortnight ago he had X-rays and blood tests. Everything was normal except for his white blood cell count that was very low. Rather than test for E.cuniculi which would cost £130 we decided to treat him as if he had it as this could account for his low white cell count.
Willow of course has been living with him and has shown no symptoms, and seems happy and healthy. Parsley showed no classic neurological symptoms of EC, it was purely his low white cell count that prompted the treatment. So, should Willow have a preventive course of Panacur or is it unnecessary? If she does need one, how long a course should it be? Just want to get some thoughts before I discuss it with my vet.
