Sorry to cross-post but I put this in Health section and I dont think anyone is viewing that at this time of night, so wondering if anyone here can help?

(Thread called Ivermectin -How do I know if its Stasis or not? Posted 11.30pm)
Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me a little bit of reassurance.
We took Starbuck to the vets today for a check of his teeth and I pointed out a little scabby bit in his fur. The vet took one look and said it was a type of parasite (possibly Cheytellierosis? - not sure I have spelt that right).
She gave us some Ivermectin to treat Starbuck, but said all the rabbits would need treating, including Twinkle and Star who live outside.
We applied the Ivermectin about 5pm - none of the bunnies liked it - but they pretty much all went about their usual business apart from Twinkle. She normally is a very energetic bunny and loves her food. But she is not eating. My husband took a big pile of veg out to them this evening and she wasnt interested at all, and was very lethargic - very out of character for her.
It may have just been the stress of coming in to the house to have it put on and the feeling of it on the back of her neck. But I am a bit worried that she is out of sorts.
Please can anyone give me advice if there is anything I should do?
Helen
Update as of 12.10am:
Checked on Twinkle again - she is still not eating, but has been in her litter tray though difficult to tell if it was for a wee or a poo. She is drinking though, which is a good sign. But still no interest in food at all. Its so unlike her. I dont know what to do.
