Post-Operation Recurrence Causes of Rabbit Tooth Absces

What situations are prone to recurrence of abscessed teeth in rabbits?

1. Improper diet for rabbits.

2. Failure to consistently administer medication to the affected rabbit, not promptly clearing the pus, or keeping the wound open.

3. Not identifying and removing the primary source of the rabbit's condition, leading to recurrent abscesses.

4. Delaying the treatment of the rabbit's condition, missing the optimal window for healing.

Conquering rabbit abscess diseases requires careful and proper care from the owner:

It is the responsibility of every rabbit breeder to provide meticulous and accurate care for sick and postoperative rabbits. When caring for a sick rabbit, the owner must consider the rabbit's emotional wellbeing. Although rabbits cannot speak, they are intelligent creatures with their own sense of judgment. Therefore, whether taking the sick rabbit to a veterinary clinic or providing postoperative care at home, the owner must first soothe the rabbit's anxiety and avoid forceful actions. The owner can comfort the rabbit with gentle words and pat its head to alleviate its tension, allowing the rabbit to be semirelaxed during the pus extraction and injection.

In addition, be aware that if the rabbit strongly resists during treatment, it is essential to release it immediately and give it some time to relax. The owner should also be attentive to the rabbit's mood during treatment and promptly inform the medical staff, as you, the owner, are the one who knows your rabbit best.

Furthermore, the owner must provide a safe and warm living environment for the rabbit, maintain the cleanliness of the cage, and ensure that the rabbit's drinking water, food bowl, and feed are clean. Pay attention to the rabbit's defecation, including the shape and quantity of the feces, and keep a detailed record. It is recommended that the owner create a paper document to record the rabbit's daily diet, mood changes, abscess developments, and the timing of antibiotic use. This will help the doctor make accurate judgments.

Tip from Paws Protection: If owners can feed rabbits scientifically and actively prevent diseases, they can significantly reduce the likelihood of rabbits falling ill. Should a rabbit become ill, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly.
