What is E. Cuniculi
It is a parasite that can cause head tilt, paralysis, collapse and death. Transmission is mainly due to ingestion of spores in urine, so as well as using panacur, food and water should be placed appropriately to avoid urine contamination, grass etc should not be collected from fields and fed and all fruit and veg given should be thoroughly washed.
