It can't be cured, only controlled with vet-prescribed medication and a daily yeast tablet, while avoiding smoke, perfumes, and hard exercise. Prevent it with a thinner summer coat, airy clean bedding, regular bathing, a low-salt diet with some pork (vitamin B), and avoiding pollen-heavy walks.
How to Use Medication for Rabbit Health Care
A sound rabbit health program relies on timely medication: anticoccidials in feed for kits, a structured vaccination schedule against VHD, pasteurellosis, Clostridia and Bordetella, routine ivermectin for mange, and antibiotics in hot humid seasons. Consistent prevention is far cheaper than treating outbreaks.
