Hey our rabbit who is harlequin, and almost three years old has consistently had snuffles for the past few years. We put her on antibiotics three times, and although they helped for a few weeks, her conditions worsened again. Does anyone know of treatment other than long term antibiotics for rabbits with snuffles? Would you reccomend Cortosine shots? Thank you sooooooooo much!!!:)

To anyone-

Does anyone know or have a rabbit with snuffles? Our rabbit, who is three years old and a harelquin has had snuffles on and off for the past few months. We had her on antibiotics three times, but we think that is not the best for her kidneys. Does anyone have any other reccomendation for treatment? Are Corosol shots effective? Thank you so much!!! Danke schon!

awww, even pit bulls don’t attack if they’re well socialized and all. I believe pit bulls can be cuddly as bunnies given the right situation and kind treatment. Though often high energy, they too can be quiet and well mannered. And they may have less of a tendency than rabbits to chew through phone cords while sitting in your lap!

I have a rabbit with snuffles. He was diagnosed at abput 3 yrs of age and my vet had him on a low dose of baytril that seemed to help, however he had diarrhea with this treatment, but the snuffles went away, or at least the symptoms did. However, after about 3 years, the symptoms case back with a vengeance and i called my vet to talk about alternatives, including putting his to sleep so he wouldn’t suffer. My vet then said that azithromycin has been approved for rabbits and to try him on a dose of that, so she prescribed him 200mg/5ml in a suspended solution to give him 4cc per day for 7 days. This was about 2 months ago…his symptoms have dissappeared and he has been symptom free since, in fact, he is back to his old self, his digestive flora has re-established itself and he is a normal rabbit. Ask your vet about azithrimycin or “zithromax” for you rabbit…you might have the same results as myself.
