        My 2.7 kg bunny has snuffles and we took him to the vet.The vet doesn’t know enough with rabbit health first he gave single dose Amoxicillin shot it didn’t work,second he tried Tylosin it didn’t work, third he gave 5 days treatment with 0.18 ml of Baytril (which equals 3.3 mg/kg of enrofloxacin not 10 mg/kg.I learned that correct dose is 10 mg/kg.)My bunny improved but not healed completely so i continued for Baytril with correct dose.He is on 5 low dose+7correct dose Baytril treatment today.But now he started to sneeze again  with runny eyes.White discharge coming out of his nose, he is sick again 🙁 I’m doing injections myself and it is stressful to me plus now that seeing it seems not working again. Should i continue to inject him more baytril even he got worse? I don’t think it is going to work, and i dont want to go this vet who messed up many times. There are not any rabbit savvy vet. Im on my own. What should i do?

          I moved this for you since it was in the Read Only section.

          So, these have all been injections? Amoxicillin can only be given by injection, but the other two can be given orally. To me, it sounds like none of these have been given long enough. If antibiotics are stopped too soon, the infection can rebound. It sounds like the Baytril has had some effect so far. Are you able to switch to an oral version? Perhaps that would work better and be less stressful.
