Comprehensive Guide to Rabbit Disease Prevention and Tr

Preventive Measures for Rabbit Diseases

1. Proactive prevention is the cornerstone of managing rabbit diseases. It is crucial to prioritize prevention over treatment. Therefore, it is essential for farmers to establish a scientific preventive system for rabbits, aiming for early detection, isolation, and treatment of diseases. This approach not only enhances the cure rate but also minimizes losses. In the event of an outbreak, the health of the rabbits should be prioritized, and immediate isolation of healthy rabbits from the sick ones is necessary. Prompt vaccination and administration of antibody serum should follow to reduce the incidence and mortality rates.

2. Determine the cause and treatment based on the rabbits' physical condition, environmental temperature, hygiene, and air quality.

3. Monitor the rabbits' feed intake as an indicator of their health. Spring and winter are peak seasons for gastrointestinal diseases in rabbits. If rabbits show reduced or no appetite, a 2ml injection of 40,000 units of Gentamicin can be administered.

4. Observe the rabbits' feces and urine to diagnose their conditions. If the urine is脓white, it may indicate kidney disease, and a daily dose of one tablet of复方新诺明 can be given for two consecutive days.

In case of diarrhea with white mucous coatings, fever up to 42°C, and increased water intake, it could be rabbit coccidiosis. Treatment involves injecting 0.2ml of Xianballuoshai into the subcutaneous tissue of each affected rabbit, once only. Additionally, improving the environment of the rabbit shed and maintaining dry conditions is crucial.

Yellow feces with mucous and dehydration after 56 hours of diarrhea may suggest rabbit colibacillosis. Treatment can include administering 2ml of Gentamicin orally, followed by feeding the rabbit with dry grass. Alternatively, a single dose of 1 tablet of Norfloxacin can be given twice daily for two days. Good hygiene and dry conditions in the rabbit shed are also vital.

Black feces and death within 34 hours of diarrhea dehydration could be a sign of rabbit Welsbachia disease, which has a high mortality rate and is often caused by poor feed quality. In such cases, 5ml of Welsbachia serum should be administered to each affected rabbit, and a 2ml Welsbachia vaccine should be given as well.

White mucous feces with bubbles and death within 2 days of illness may indicate dysentery. Treatment can involve oral administration of Linting or injection of Linting injection, depending on the severity. Good hygiene and clean drinking water are essential.

Observe the rabbits' eyes for any discharge or tears. If these symptoms are present, it may indicate keratitis or infectious keratitis. Treatment for allergic reactions or injuries can include intramuscular injections of 800,000 units of penicillin and 1ml of dexamethasone, twice daily for two days.

Check the rabbits' ears for any discharge or scabs. Yellowbrown scabs and hot ears may indicate ear mites, often caused by inadequate deworming and moist conditions. Treatment involves injecting 0.1ml of Shenchongshuai into each affected rabbit, with half the dose for young rabbits, typically requiring three days of treatment.
