Hi - my mini lop Hamish had what we believe was E-cuniculi when he was just 4 months old. Within a few minutes he started to lose his balance, then was falling over and panicking (thought he was fitting but wasn't). Anyway, got him to vets, dosed with Panacur and within 7 hours was just about back to normal.
He hadn't had any further symptoms from this until October just gone when he was almost 5 years old. The symptoms were that his head was moving side to side, not head tilt but just to the side then he would pull it back to looking in front again.
Got him into vets and they said it was a flare of the EC and he was on Panacur for 28 days. All settled down within a couple of days but he is now having spells of head moving again even though he has been on Panacur for the last 5 days.
I'm not actually convinced that this is EC flaring tbh. I've been looking online and came across scanning which after watching a video is exactly what Hamish does.
Reading about this it makes more sense to me that this is what is bothering H, I have always thought that his eyesight was not as it should be.
So really my questions are, can EC cause these symptoms? Is it likely that EC is flaring or that maybe his vision was damaged by the first episode and he is now scanning.
Regarding his first episode, is it likely that he would have been symptom free within a few hours of Panacur if it was EC? That day he had been charging about and he slid on the wooden floor and went headfirst into the wall. Could it have been related to that?
Sorry for the long post and many questions
, it's just that this is baffling me.

However it did show someone else's vid regards scanning.
