Bacterial Infections in Dogs and Cats: Symptoms and Medications
Bacterial infections in dogs and cats range from leptospirosis and Lyme disease to E. coli, brucellosis, pasteurellosis, staph, and salmonella. This guide summarizes each disease's signs and the drugs and prevention that matter most.
Two Serious and Common Rabbit Diseases
Rabbit owners should know how to prevent and recognize viral hemorrhagic disease and pasteurellosis — two widespread, often fatal rabbit illnesses. This guide covers their signs, vaccines, and treatment regimens.
Clinical Types of Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is driven by Pasteurella multocida and breaks out when resistance drops. It appears in three clinical forms — septicemic, pneumonic and nasal — and is a stubborn disease with low cure rates, high relapse and long treatment.
Rabbit Otitis Media: Symptoms and Pathological Changes
Otitis media in rabbits is subtle early on; a head tilt, or torticollis, is the main clinical sign, sometimes with lethargy, difficulty drinking and weight loss. Early on the eardrum and tympanic wall redden or rupture, and severe cases progress to purulent meningoencephalitis. The main pathogen is Pasteurella multocida.
Prevention and Treatment of Rabbit Otitis Media
Rabbit otitis media, often called wry-neck disease, is usually caused by Pasteurella multocida and can be fatal if left untreated. The earliest sign is a head tilted to one side; as it progresses the rabbit may roll, lose balance and eventually die. Prompt, cause-specific treatment and good hutch sanitation are the keys to prevention.
Treatment and Prevention of Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is hard to eradicate and easily relapses, so prevention matters most: low density, good ventilation, clean hutches, steady warmth and the Pasteurella vaccine. For outbreaks, florfenicol, tilmicosin or tylosin now work better than the overused penicillin–streptomycin combo.
Causes of Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is hard to cure and hard to prevent, with high rates on many farms. The main drivers are crowding, poor ventilation, sharp weather changes, breed susceptibility (angora and fur rabbits are worst), and low husbandry standards.
Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits is hard to cure and best prevented: strict husbandry, low density, good ventilation, solid nutrition and the Pasteurella–Bordetella vaccine cut the risk. For outbreaks, antibiotics such as penicillin, streptomycin, kanamycin or gentamicin by injection, plus enrofloxacin in water for whole-group infection, are the main treatments.
Preventing and Treating Rabbit Enteritis in Autumn
Enteritis is a key autumn risk for rabbits—warm, humid early autumn fuels pathogens and moldy feed. This guide breaks down parasitic, bacterial, toxic, and stress-related enteritis and how to prevent each.
Infectious Rhinitis in Rabbits
Infectious rhinitis is a chronic rabbit disease triggered by allergens or viruses (often Pasteurella and Bordetella bacteria), and frequent sneezing is its hallmark sign. Allergen-driven cases clear once the trigger is removed, while viral cases need medication — and the sooner treatment starts, the better.
