Last week, I played a PFS game with an unchained summoner, and my eidolon contracted Ghoul Fever. As part of the scenario wrap up, I had to roll out saves across multiple days, because the place where we fought the ghouls was a several week journey by ship. The eidolon got under 5 Con when the GM decided to just hand-waive it, saying that since there was a quartermaster on board we could purchase miscellaneous items from at the beginning of the scenario, I could just pay for the Remove Disease and be done with it.
So, I was wondering what the specifics are for an eidolon dying of a disease like this, particularly if it gets transformed into an undead creature. There is discussion in the class description about what happens if an eidolon is "slain," which I'm not sure this covers.
Would the eidolon become "slain" when it hits 0 Con and then I could just re-call it the next day? Would it become a Ghoul, requiring the party to kill it, and then I could re-call it the day after that? If I left it in the Plane of Summoned creatures, the disease should progress as normal (doesn't get suppressed like certain Remove X spells or paused like a Delay Y spell), resulting in a Ghoul stomping around some other plane? Would there be something about the situation that would prevent me from getting the same eidolon back after such a thing happened (like how you can't Raise Dead on someone who was turned into an undead creature) and I would have to get a new one as if a familiar or animal companion died? Does this being a PFS game affect the situation?

it would die at 0 con and be re-summoned the following day with 1 con it cannot become a ghoul as ghoul fever says humanoids who die from it turn into ghouls and outsiders are not humanoids
A humanoid who dies of ghoul fever rises as a ghoul at the next midnight. A humanoid who becomes a ghoul in this way retains none of the abilities it possessed in life.
also any effects it has on it do not progress while it on its home plane when it is dismissed and re-summoned it will have exactly what it had when it left with the same duration.
