How likely is it for EC to be passed from rabbit to rabbit indirectly such as on shoes, clothing, and hands? There is a rabbit at the rescue that I volunteer for who recently tested positive for EC and is undergoing treatment. Is it safe for me to touch the rabbit, clean his cage, etc. and then come home to my rabbit as long as I change my clothes and wash my hands before I touch my rabbit? As far as I know, this is probably unlikely because EC is mainly passed in the urine, so it usually requires direct contact from an infected rabbit, is that correct? Should I be concerned?
