What anitibiotics has he been on? What does the vet think the problem is?

Probably Baytril. There are other rabbit safe antibiotics out there though. Baytril is probably the most commonly used.

Does he have a snotty nose, clear or white? Kinda sounds like pasturella, kinda doesn’t.

edit : wanted to add, it doesn’t really sound like pasturella if there’s no snot. It could be allergies, something in his nose for a long time (have you cleaned his nose?). 

Baytril is the most commonly used, but it doesn’t treat _every_ URI. There are other treatments if Baytril doesn’t work. Has your vet run a culture or any other tests ?

Also, have you considered allergies?

Seems to me your vet is not very rabbit savvy or they would be trying to find a solution. There are several possibilities, could be bacterial like Pasteurella, in which case a culture would need to be done to determine the presence of the bacteria. Or it could be some type of infection, like sinus or respiratory.

Is there another vet in your area you could see?

I feel bad for your poor bunny.

I would suggest them doing a test also.

I have one bunny prone to sneezing with NO discharge and one that has recently begun sneezing excessively WITH the discharge. He has been on two antibiotics (baytril and zithromax) and neither worked. My vet believes he may be having trouble getting the gunk out of his nose which is causing the bacterial infections to begin because he’s not flushing any of the bacteria out himself. We have started to do simple nose flushes (vets orders) on him once a night to see if it begins to help him.

I would suggest having your vet trying going on VIM and looking up information on how to treat. Even if he’s not completely rabbit-savvy, there are other ways for them to look up more information on this issue. VIM is a great vet resource – I would ask if he has access to it.

If the penicillin injections don’t work (which they might not) you WILL NEED to do the culture to see once and for all what you’re dealing with.

Please read this article about C&S tests… this will explain why the test is so important when an initial round of antibiotics don’t work. http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/culture.html

I think it’s a good option and I do hope it works.

Haha! Oh I hear ya! Wouldn’t that be nice?! 🙂

Hopefully the pen injections work! Keep us posted!

Interesting. Do you know what the eye drops were? Curious because my vet has us doing nasal flushes with eye drops saline solution (or rather contact solution). We don’t put it in his eye though, we put it in a syringe and squirt it into his nose to flush the nose.
