Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Has anyone else used this for the treatment of RTIs and had success?Hi :wave:
No experience with this im afraid just wanted to bump you up and wish you and your bun all the luck in the world that the metronidazole finally sorts it out for him
My conti Blue has suffered from chronic snuffles since his last myxo jab and has been on engomycin injections every three days for over a year.My vet suggested using Metronidazole,known to help lower RTI.Blue has had this new drug,which I previously used for coccidiosis,for five days and is still sneezing but not gagging at the end of the sneeze
.Absesses in their paws,ears and stomach and no one has been able to save my babiesI know ABX for over a year is not good for him but its keeping Blue on an an even keel and hes a free range bunny who is happy and healthy in every other aspect of his life
