My rabbit has snuffles again. Treat all rabbits or just the sick one?

Question

rabbits on baytril for 12 days, ran out of baytril to give, and could not get more as it is no longer being sold here. tried another enrofloxacin brand, it smelled like vinegar and gave the rabbits wet stool on day 2 so i stopped. one of the rabbits has started do develop snuffles symptoms again. but NOT THE OTHER RABBITS. q: do i give them all the medication or just the sick one? will he get reinfected from the others later? separation is NOT an option. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 4 days old | 2 lbs

Only give it to the sick one for now, if the second one starts showing symptoms then treat him as well. a good alternative to baytril is Septrin (trimetoprim sulfa), this should be easy to find in human pharmacies (children suspension).
