Question
my rabbits that are 5 days old have E. coli. Is there anything thet can treat this? Thanks for the advice.

Answer
Dear Dan,

Oral ciprofloxacin is the most effective remedy against intestinal infections with E. coli in baby rabbits.  You can find my protocol for saving E. coli babies with diarrhea here:

I hope this will help.
