Can you give human medicines to a rabbit?

Answer 1

No - the antibiotics are formulated very differently for fish than they are for cats and you could end up killing your cat.

If you believe your cat needs antibiotic treatment, you should schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination. He/she will provide the proper antibiotics if needed.

Answer 2

No - rabbits can react very differently to medications than humans do, and you could cause a serious side effect or even cause your rabbit to die. If you believe your rabbit needs medication you should take it to a veterinarian who can prescribe safe medications for your rabbit.

Answer 3

The only antibiotics you can give to your rabbit are ones you got from your vet. You must follow their instructions exactly.

Your vet has to be a rabbit specialist, because many medicines that are safe for cats and dogs are not safe for rabbits, and vets don't always know this if they aren't rabbit specialists.

Generally speaking, most antibiotics that end with "cillin" or "mycin" are not safe for rabbits.

Your vet has to figure out what the infection in your rabbit is, in order to pick the right kind of antibiotic.

Answer 4

No! Depending on the antibiotic, it may be dangerous to the cat. And, certainly, the dosing would be different. Consult your veterinarian, please.
