We are not vets. Always consult your veterinarian before making any health decisions about your rabbit

Appropriate Use of Antibiotics in Rabbits - The House Rabbit Society
"Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. When needed for treatment of an infection in a rabbit, these drugs should be prescribed only by a veterinarian well-versed in rabbit medicine.
This article includes a table which contains a summary of some commonly available antibiotics, routes of administration, and the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea due to disruption of the normal intestinal flora. These data were compiled from studies performed or veterinary experience gained with rabbits (Modified from Textbook of Rabbit Medicine by Frances Harcourt-Brown).
