I recently had an injured rabbit, which I gave anti-biotic to and was wondering if the medication or the wound could have caused her to have a stillborn?

Hi Kara,
this is hard to say,as an injury can cause a stillborn,especially a fall or a hit. Medication would also have affects on the fetus as well,seeing as this rabbit was injured and had medication the young didn't have a chance. How many young were there?

AnswerYes,sometimes one baby can happen,but is extremely rare...this could be another cause from the medication..rabbits most commonly have 4-5 babies in a litter.
Make sure you have the rabbit examined to make sure there are no more dead babies inside her..this could be deadly to the mother.
take care Kara.....Elizabeth
