I believe my doe has/had this e cuniculi. I now think she got it from being on grass where wild rabbits probably peed. I treated her with SafeGuard for 8 days and ivermectin twice. Today she is better, much better. She started showing signs in July so it's been a worried summer. At first I did nothing. So now I know.

I'm glad she's doing better.
From what I've been told it's a longer treatment plan for e. cunniculi than 8 days to totally eradicate it. Watch any babies for signs of it.

Put her back on Safeguard this morning and will continue for 8 more days or so. Question: should I pitch the rabbits in the freezer that came from her? I also gave the other two Safeguard this morning.
are they going to be fully cooked? If so, eat them. 
ok I've already eaten two and I can walk without falling over ha. Lulu is better but still has to go slow or she will wipe out. Still on the Safeguard daily. Her appetite is good. Gained some weight back.
Update on Lulu: After 20 some days of SafeGuard then a round of Ivermectin I can say she is close to 100% Not sure of her eyesight but she's not totally blind. She can hop and jump without falling over and tries to throw a binkie but her balance will probably never be perfect. She never had head tilt but her palsy was pretty bad and I still see a little of that. Been wondering why she would not go in her shelter box but last nite she did. She seems happy and stronger. So, it works! Only cost me $15. She gets raspberries and leaves and it seems it does increase her appetite. She is Rex/NZ. 8 lbs now at 3 yrs old. Thanks for the help.
