e cuniculi help

[karina_b]

I am desperatley looking for help re e cuniculi treatment bearing in mind I live in the uk I am interested in what regimes you may recommend.I first took Jazz to vet no 1 on the 2nd oct and he was given a steroid injection & prescribed 2 days baytril antibiotic and 9 days panacur.I didn't feel this was enough so took him to vet no 2 who gave 12 more days baytril and recommended 28 days panacur.He has a hearty appetite and drinks from his bottle his head is tilted to the left but he can straighten it but its wobbly,my main concerns are he is still rolling and doesn't like the light it sets him off.
Thankyou so much in advance for any ideas or help.

What vet no 2 prescribed seems to be what is generally done for EC. I've come across some other things that have been tried for it, and it's been successful. Here are the articles. You could talk to your vet about them if it seems like something you would want to try.
