Question
Hi, About 6 weeks ago my bunny started sneezing, no discarge.  After 3 days I took him to the vet how prescribed penicillin g injections 2 weeks daily then 2 weeks every other day.  The last dose was given 4 days ago.  My bunny is still sneezing a little and has a little clear nasal discharge.  Eating fine and seems active. What should I do next?

Answer
Dear Alicia,

Pen-G is sort of an odd choice for a first try antibiotic for a problem like this.  But at least it's rabbit safe.  I would try to find an experienced rabbit vet:

and also please read:

and

so you'll be prepared with the right questions.

Hope that helps.
