Hello all!
Last Friday was on the vet for a check up on Thumper!
Cause there was again some pus on the front paw we started again the Azythromycin antibiotic that we had seen good results (the one that made her soft poop too ) , though this time was Zythromax i bought from pharmacy. 5 days now the pus seems to have gone from the paw but from the first day the appetite and general mood of the bunny has gone down. Today especially she is not eating/drinking alone at all. I feed her with my hand some alfa alfa hay and a few pellets. Only fresh greens eat on her own with appetite. She is not even drinking water at all from the bottle.
So i did a research on web and saw a lot of people have exactly the similar problem with Zythromax (loss of appetite, not drinking water , bunny in one place ).
You think is the antibiotic made Thumper that bad ? Even with the severe abcesses a couple of months back was eating/drinking jsut fine. Never had problem with appetite and general mood of the rabbit.
Should i give her the dose today or skip it and ask my vet tommorow what to do ?
Hi there :wave:
I was wondering how you and Thumper were doing!
There have been reported adverse reactions with Zithromax:

I personally wouldn't do anything without consulting a vet
