Sorry to hear that Blair is poorly Some bunnies are more sensitive to certain kinds of antibiotics than others, so it sounds like Blair had a reaction to the antibiotic prescribed. Do you know the name of the antibiotic?

It sounds like there could be complications. Painkillers might help with the pain if there’s any, but it wouldn’t get rid of the underlying issue, so it sounds a bit odd that they would only prescribe painkillers and nothing else. Did the vet say anything with regards to the ineffective antibiotic/hind leg issues, and are they rabbit-savvy?

Im sorry I am late to this.

Pneumonia in rabbits is very serious. Some individuals have more sensitive lungs or a weaker immune defense than other individuals. If the painkiller was meloxicam, it is an anti inflammatory med and it could have a very beneficial effect on the inflamed lung tissue.

The prognosis is always far worse for rabbits that wont eat when they’re sick. They must eat or they will soon become very weak.

Sometimes a different antibiotic or a combo of antibiotics is needed. My bun also had bricanyl when he had a lower respiratory infection. It was pills that I dissolved in water and measured up the correct dose of with a syringe.

Try to handle her as little as possible- stress makes it even more difficult for the bun to breathe. Spend time with her though, being alone is scary for rabbits.
