Typical rabbit disease prevention and treatment: rabbits

Rabbit plague is an acute, hot, septic, and devastating infectious disease caused by the virus. It can happen all year round and all rabbits are susceptible. The incidence and mortality of young rabbits and adult rabbits over 3 months of age are the highest (up to 95% or more), and the weaned young rabbits have a certain degree of resistance. It can be transmitted through various routes such as respiratory tract, digestive tract and skin. The incubation period is 48-72 hours.

(1) Clinical symptoms can be divided into 3 types.

The most acute type:

Sudden death without any obvious symptoms. There are more short-term excitement before death, such as screaming, struggling, twitching, mad rushing. Some suffer from the foaming blood flow from the rabbit's nostrils before death. This type of case often occurs early in the epidemic.

Acute type:

Loss of energy, rough hair, and rapid weight loss. Body temperature rises above 41°C, appetite diminishes or disappears, and drinking desire increases. Suddenly excited before death, squeaked and fell dead.

The above two types mostly occurred in young rabbits and adult rabbits. The rabbit suffered anal relaxation before death, and a small amount of pale yellow viscous loose stools flowed out.

Chronic type:

More common in young rabbits after the end of the epidemic or weaning. The body temperature rises, the spirit is not good, do not like to eat, love to drink cold water, weight loss. The course of disease is more than 2 days, most of which can be restored, but still infected with other rabbits.

(2) pathological changes

Diseased rabbits showed systemic sepsis changes, and all organs had varying degrees of bleeding, congestion, and edema. The lungs are highly edematous, with bleeding spots of varying sizes, and a large amount of red foamy liquid flows out from the cut surface. Throat, tracheal mucosal congestion or diffuse hemorrhage, the most obvious tracheal ring; liver swelling and degeneration, was khaki, or bruises was purple, with bleeding spots; kidney swelling was purple, often mixed with pale degeneration areas Staphylococcus, some with needle-like haemorrhage; cerebral and meningeal vascular congestion, pituitary gland and pineal gland with blood clots; thymic hemorrhage.

(3) There is no specific drug treatment for the prevention of the disease. Vaccination is the best way to prevent rabbits.
After the rabbit weaned, each subcutaneous injection of 1 ml, 5 to 7 days of immunity, immunity period of 4 to 6 months. Adult rabbits are injected 2 or 3 times a year, with 1 to 2 ml per injection. In the event of a rabbit lice, block the rabbit farm immediately, isolate the sick rabbits, bury the dead rabbits, and completely sterilize the cages, rabbit houses, and the environment. When necessary, give emergency injections of uninfected rabbits and inject 2-3 ml each. Rabbit farms are not allowed to sell rabbits during the onset of disease, nor can they be introduced from infected areas.
