Will enrofloxacin lower my bunny's fever and how to tell?

Question

My bunny Diva has a 103.7 fever (took her to the vet yesterday) and she has some clear discharge coming out of her nose just a bit, and a bit of a sneeze here and there.. the vet prescribed her the antibiotic enrofloxacin.. will that help reduce her fever also? Before I took her yesterday, she did seem warm on the back of her neck! now today after 12 hours of being on the antibiotic I feel she already doesn’t feel as hot!! Not sure if I could tell that way?

The only real way to know if the temperature has gone down is to take it rectally. You can't really tell just by feeling their body. The enrofloxacin is a great antibiotic and yes, it will reduce body temperature.
