We have worked with the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund to produce a new PROTECT ME poster on antibiotic use in rabbits. The update follows the recent overhaul of the BSAVA/SAMSoc Guide to Responsible Use of Antibiotics and the PROTECT ME poster for cats and dogs.

While the underlying principles of avoiding unnecessary use are the same across species, there are a number of rabbit-specific considerations relevant to the effective and safe use of antibiotics. In particular, the risk of antibiotic-associated enterotoxaemia requires careful monitoring and management.
