Drugs causing weight loss?

Jazzy B Bunny

Wise Old Thumper
Jazz has had 4 injections of amoxycare to try and controll his abcess in his ear (possible paturella) Took him up to the vets tonight for his 4th injection and was told that he has lost weight :( could this be due to the drugs? he's eating the same amount. going back in 2 weeks time to weigh him again :(
 
I find that if a bunny is fighting an active infection they need to eat a lot more to maintain their weight.

Eddie has 3 big meals a day and still hasn't gained anything but at least he hasn't lost any either :)
 
you can try, if he gets an upset tummy obviously go back to the original amount :)

Eddie has a large bowl of pellets 3 times a day plus veg once a day.
