Why is Yuki so out of it in the mornings?

First off I would like to thank everyone who has helped Yuki and I so far. It's very much appreciated. :)

I have noticed for the last 2 weeks or so, pretty much since Yuki has gotten sick, he's been really out of it in the mornings, like very drowsy. He won't eat or move much. He perks up around noon, and by the late afternoon he's eating quite a bit and has a lot of energy. This "morning sickness" seemed to have gotten worse in the last week. I was wondering if antibiotics can really do this to bunnies? I know he wasn't this bad when he was on Baytril for an ear infection last May, but perhaps the combination with the Metronidazole is affecting him. I don't think Metacam would be the culprit. He's only on a low dose of Metronidazole, though. I just hate seeing him so groggy and wish I knew why he was acting like this. :(
