My rabbit has snuffles, on medication. When should I see improvement?

Question

My recently adopted male rabbit bonded with my bereaved female - since adopting him before Christmas has developed Snuffles unexpectedly - brought him indoors as Vet suggested & is on Baytril, Ranitidene & Metacam. If which I have been feeding him 3 times a day via syringe of DualCare & giving him 10ml of baytril once a day & the other 2 twice a day - plus diluted tummy care by Beaphar that my Vet also said is ok to give him( 125ml throughout each day). Only started treatment Friday. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered | 2.9 lbs

Hello, and thank you for your question. It sounds like Snuggles has all the right medications to help resolve his Snuffles infection. I would give it a few more days to see improvement. If still no improvement by then, I would recommend taking him back to the vet. They may want to take a culture sample of his nasal discharge to check exactly what bacteria is present, or decide to switch his antibiotic type altogether. X-rays may also be recommended to rule out pneumonia, which is more serious and more difficult to treat. I hope this helps, and that Snuggles feels better soon!
