My bun was just about 1 month old when I brought her home. She sneezed on the first day, but I didn't pay too much attention to that coz i thought maybe she was choke by the powder of the hay. But the situation went worse coz she sneezed often and sometimes sneezed in a succession. Several days after that, some white nasal mucus came out from her nose. I was freaked out then I brought her to see the vet.
The vet said it was upper respiratory infection at the first treatment. He used some liquid medicine to sprayher nose, but he didn't tell me what that liquid medicine was. He also prescribed cefradine which made my bun have enteritis, then I stop to give her cefradine. After this treatment, she didn't sneeze though still sometime had snot. But the vet said that didn't matter and there was no need for my bun to have therapy anymore.
But after one month, my bun began to sneeze again, and some lucid snot came out from her nose, then I brought her to see another vet.
At the second time, the vet diagnose it as upper respiratory infection. He prescribed 3 injection of Tobramycin for her, one injection per day. And he also prescribed Tobramycin for her to drip (into her nose, drip one time every 4 hours). After the first injection, my bun sneezed less, but it seemed that the second and third injection had no use, and she still run her nose after the 2 and 3 injection. But after this, I read some information about the injection of Tobramycin, and found that was harmful for bun's kidney so I stop give her those injection and dripping.
Most of the vets in the city I live now just know how to treat cats and dogs, so I have to surf the net to find some information by myself. Most of people said Baytril is a good medicine for treating inspiratory infection, and Enrofloxacin is a relatively safe antibiotic for bunnies. Then I went to the vet and required the vet to prescribe several pills for her. But one of the vets told me that baytril is not suitable for bunny which is under 6 months old. He said that would harm the shank of my bun, and my bun would not run fast and jump high when she grows up. I feel pretty worried and sad, and I wanna know:
1. Is Enrofloxacin in Baytril harmful for the shank of bunnies?
2. My bun is 110 days old now, weigh 1.045KG, is it suitable for her to use baytril?
3. If I use baytril, according to the weight of my bun, shoud i give her 5mg/day? How long shouldthe treatment last?
4. Is it suitable for her to use baytril for a long time if the symptoms do not relieve?
I am sorry that i ask so many questions and bother u, but i am really worried about her coz she is one of my family that i can't stand seeing her suffer.
