Has anyone had a Rabbit on both Zithromax and Depocillin at the same time ?

Nope, I haven't. I also don't know if they can be used together. Although AFAIK you don't need a withdrawal period...at least I gave Dominic his last depo jab a couple of days before switching him onto zith.
Are you thinking of trying Morse on Zithromax Jane? I would deffo say it's a worth a try

Thank you
I read elsewhere that it can be used at the same time :?
Does Zithromax come in injectable form ?
I really dont feel comfortable about giving oral abx to Morse :?
Jane, maybe ask on www.rabbitsonline.net because they use Penicillin far more readily over there. I don't believe there is injectable Zithromax though, and some bunnies experience horrific gut effects, so if you are concerned then follow your gut instinct about Morse.
What about something like Convenia? I'm unsure what it can be used in conjunction with though, although my vet did it in conjuction with Septrin frm one bunny I know of.

Just didn't want to not answer - but we have never done this.
Parsley's revolting ear has responded really well to a combination of oral baytril and metranidozol WITH syringing marbocyl down into the ear once a day after cleaning. After 4 weeks of this it is almost clear as far as can be seen (we are nor putting him under CA to poke around deeper).
In comparison it was full of puss before and inflamed so much his ear drum had burst
I do think its the marbocyl syringing that has done the trick.
As you know he also had two ketamine injections when the pain was at its worst - and had metacam for the first 2 weeks to get the inflamation down.
