Hi I'm experiencing a new problem. I've had my wc Russian for 2 months now. He instantly had gotten treated for high amount of pin worm. The first month he spent in a temporary hospital enclosure with all the attention he needed as far as temps, Gerber soaks, paper towels down for substrate so as to properly dispose poo and so on. I had finally gotten him to come around and eat indoors (calendula is the only thing he will eat besides grass and weeds when he goes outside for sun) and he was going crazy trying to get out of the 2x4 rabbit cage so I figured he was ready to return to his nice big table. It took me like 3 days to get his table ready with this pandemic bs as I had to tighten up a couple details. In that time I noticed he had begun to "shut down" again becoming very lethargic and sleepy. I hoped he just really hated the 2x4 cage so I finally just last week moved him back to his table. He was really happy and walking and eating for whole day but somehow in the last couple days he has completely shut down again and his eyes are really bothering him. I'm almost 100% sure I see little clear worms in his poo still. I'm waiting to hear back from his vet as I just gave them a new poo sample to test. He was originally just supposed to get the second de-worm treatment no matter what after 2 weeks but because this corona got real bad in my county(Erie NY) I spoke to his vet on the phone and at that time he was doing great so she said just to bring in a sample. Well literally that day is when he started showing symptoms again, sleeping all day .
Is it possible he was starting to come around because of the first worm treatment and now it's worn off and he's sick again?
