I've read many posts lately that have stated "confirmed ECE". If I'm not mistaken, there isn't a test to confirm it because the virus was never isolated. Quite often vets will strongly suggest ECE by a process of elimination, but this doesn't confirm it as such. Please be aware that there are many illnesses that will have symptoms that are consistent with ECE. Fecal exams can quite often miss them depending on the timing of the tests and the development of the illness. SP [Posted in FML issue 2565]
