Rabbit Diseases & Treatment

Common Commercial Rabbit Diseases & Treatment Protocols

Respiratory Infections (Snuffles & Pasteurellosis)

Symptoms: Nasal discharge, persistent sneezing, wet front paws (from wiping nose), and loud breathing sounds.

Primary Causes: Poor ventilation, high ammonia buildup from waste, or sudden climate fluctuations.

Treatment & Prevention: Move infected rabbits to isolated quarantine quarters instantly. Administer vet-approved antibiotic drops. Ensure your farm uses our specialized vertical housing setup with an integrated drainage layout to minimize ammonia accumulation.

Ear Mites & Canker (Psoroptes cuniculi)

Symptoms: Frequent head shaking, scratching at ears, and thick brown crust forming inside the ear canal.

Primary Causes: Cross-contamination from wild animals or high-humidity housing conditions.

Treatment & Prevention: Clean the outer ear gently with antiseptic oil. Apply prescribed topical drops or veterinary-grade anti-parasitic injections. Disinfect the entire plastic cage unit immediately to kill remaining microscopic pests.

Gastrointestinal Stasis & Bloat (Mucoid Enteritis)

Symptoms: Sudden loss of appetite, lethargy, absence of fecal droppings, or a hard, distended abdomen.

Primary Causes: Low-fiber dietary intake, sudden changes in feed brands, or extreme environmental stress.

Treatment & Prevention: Keep the rabbit hydrated immediately. Introduce high-fiber hay and stop concentrated commercial pellets temporarily. Use prokinetic therapy under expert guidance to stimulate gut motility.

Foot Injuries & Sore Hocks (Pododermatitis)

Symptoms: Raw, hairless spots or open sores developing on the bottom of the hind feet.

Primary Causes: Keeping heavy breeds on rough wire mesh flooring.

Treatment & Prevention: Apply antiseptic healing ointments and move the rabbit to a flat surface.

Note: Our medical-grade Plastic Cage Systems (2×2, 3×2, and 5×2 units) are designed with smooth, solid-slat floors specifically to eradicate Sore Hocks across your entire herd.
