i think Baytrial is absolute rubbish its not the best antibiotic it was just marketed well and i was even told the same by a head vet she also said because its being used so much that germs are building up immunities to it:?
my main problem with it is that bun has syphilis and vet perscribed this.im going back tomorrow and iv told them i want see a diff vet because he is now getting sores on his lips.

well went the vets last night and different vet agreed baytril would do nothing.he was worried about giving him penicillin due to the affects so he has given him an injection and iv forgotten what,sure it started with a b?:? hes got to go back for an injection today and another one tomorrow.he said if these dont clear it then he will have to give the penicillin
Here's an interesting site:

It does say on here that rabbit syphillis is not transmissable to humans, it is an organism specific to rabbits and is not the same as human syphillis.
Right down the bottom it talks about treatments and while it cites penicillin as the main treatment as syphillis is extremely sensitive to it, it does in fact suggest that oxytetracycline (terramycin, engemycin) can sometimes be effective if given aggressively, as well as doxycycline. I wonder if this is what your vet is trying first?
I was given a course of Unicillin for 2 rabbits that had syphillis it was injection and it worked it cleared it up both rabbits have been neutured now so wont know if it is lying dormant or cured.:?
Your rabbit were lucky to even survive treatment with Unicillin. I'm stunned that a vet would prescribe it for rabbits.
hes a very very old style vet usually deals with race horses and greyhounds mainly tbh its was 0.01ml everyday for 2 wks it worked on a abcess as well oddly enough but he said not to inject it but to flush the abcess out with it. i have nothing but praise for him 3 rabbits ive taken to him all him come home and survived.
