Rabbit syphilis: Can healthy bunnies get it? Is bonding safe?

Question

I have two other heathy rabbit at home. Is it okay to keep 3rd one suffering from sphyllis. They sniff nose from cage. Can my other two healthy ones also get infected. Also once sphyllis is cured with penincillin, is it safe to bond it with other ra bits. I heard shyllis comes bacl after few years. Doctor said bunny got it from mother milk. Plz advice. Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female | spayed | 3 months and 4 days old | 2 lbs

They can still catch it through direct contact so i would recommend keeping the cage far from the other two. she probably got syphilis when she passed though the vaginal canal, not through the milk. after she is cured she will be fine to be mixed with the other two.
