Will enrofloxacin lower my bunny's fever and how to tell?

Hello, I assume you mean Enroxil ( enrofloxacin ). The usual dose for rabbits is 11 mg every 12 hours, or 22.7 mg every 24 hours for a 5-pound rabbit. This is an excellent medication for respiratory infections in rabbits. I hope Muffine is feeling better soon. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It is safe for your rabbit, QUINOLONES is the antibiotic family and Baytril is a part of this family, the only thing you have to make sure of is that the previous concentration you had was the same (5%), if it is not the same you will need to adjust the dosage. Baytril usually comes in 10% or 2.5% solutions, i don't think that they have a 5% solution (except the injectable form). this means you will need to either double the dose (if you used 10% previously) or divide the original dose by 2 (if you used the 2.5 %).

So good of you to take on this little bunny! Pasteurella is very common in rabbits and most have it in their lungs, often a stressful event such as moving can lead to it causing an infection. It can be quite serious especially in a young or old rabbit. However, you are doing the right thing in having it treated. Antibiotics are limited in rabbits and baytril is a good choice for this type of issue. I cant comment on the dose as I di not know the weight of your rabbit or the concentartion, however, I imagine it is sufficient. It can take antibiotics a fair few days to start making an impact so it may just be a matter of time. I would suggest asking your et for an antinflammatory such as meloxicam also to help tge lungs. If the rabbut seems to be detetiorating do go back to the vet as he may require alternative treatment.

Hello, and thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that Whisky has been unwell. Rabbits can be very sensitive to antibiotics, so I would check to make sure the type that was administered to her is safe for rabbits. Has she continued to do better since you posted your question? An important supportive treatment for rabbits that are unwell is to offer them consistent nutrition in the form of a powdered supplement mixed with water, and fed through a syringe. A search on Amazon shows me that it is available in India: https://www.amazon.in/Oxbow-Critical-Care-Supplement-141gm/dp/B0021WZJD8 It is also important to provide pain medication, even if there are no obvious signs of pain. Your vet will be your best source for that. Otherwise, continue to keep Whisky's environment clean and dry, and offer her a well balanced diet of mostly timothy hay and a small amount of pellets and greens. I hope this helps, and that Whisky feels better soon.

You are correct, she is probably suffering from an upper respiratory infection (Snuffles), she will need a course of antibiotic (Baytril) and some antibiotic eye drops for about 3 weeks, you can go to any regular vet, they can prescribe these medications for Berry.

Only give it to the sick one for now, if the second one starts showing symptoms then treat him as well. a good alternative to baytril is Septrin (trimetoprim sulfa), this should be easy to find in human pharmacies (children suspension).

No, Tylosin is definitely not the antibiotic for this condition, in fact it should not be used at all in rabbit and can cause a rabbit fatal diarrhea. the antibiotic your rabbit needs for this condition is Baytril (enrofloxacin) 10mg/kg twice a day for 3-6 weeks.
