Antibiotic Question

[lynne2809]

Hey everyone! I know that rabbits cannot take most antibiotics as it can lead to enterotoxemia. My question is: I am currently taking a 10 day course of antibiotics (one of the ones which is dangerous for rabbits). Is it okay for me to be interacting with and caring for my rabbit while I am taking these antibiotics? Another question: I know that rabbits usually get Clostridium infections when they take a medication that alters the normal bacteria in the GI tract, but can rabbits contract C. Diff from humans? For example, if a rabbit owner had a C. diff infection, would it still be okay for them to care for their rabbit?

For your first question, I'm sure its okay for you to interact with your bunny even if you're taking some antibiotics.

But regarding the clostridium, that I'm not so sure. Though I don't think we can pass something to them, of course, I could be wrong.
