Rabbit Mastitis: Causes, Signs, and Treatment
Rabbit mastitis, common about a week after kindling, blocks kits from nursing and can kill the doe through tissue death or sepsis. It stems from dirty housing, cage splinters, oversupply from too much concentrate, or bitten teats. Prevent with managed feed and smooth clean cages; treat early with cold packs and ichthammol, later with hot packs and penicillin plus mequindox and dexamethasone, and surgery for abscesses. A sick doe can pass yellow-urine disease to kits, so treat both.
How to Treat Pneumonia in Hamsters?
Treating pneumonia in hamsters depends on catching it early and acting fast: confirm the cause with a vet, then use antibiotics or antifungals as prescribed, and support recovery with nebulization, a clean warm environment, and good nutrition. Because poor housing, dusty bedding, and stress are common triggers, prevention focuses on stable, clean, well-ventilated living conditions.

A single swollen or ulcerated lip is usually considered an eosinophilic granuloma, a skin inflammation in cats that may be allergy-related.
