Common Causes and Treatment of Ringworm in Cats, Dogs, and Rabbits
Ringworm (dermatophytosis) is a highly contagious, zoonotic fungal infection that strikes animals with weak skin immunity — especially youngsters and those in damp, dirty surroundings — and can pass to humans. Treatment means isolating the pet, clipping and disinfecting lesions, antifungal sprays or ointments (plus oral antifungals and B-vitamins for severe cases, with liver support), and thorough environmental cleaning; rabbits need ivermectin-based mite control to prevent it. Keep the home dry and ventilated, bathe sparingly with pet shampoo, and use a little sunlight to stop outbreaks before they start.
Key Measures for Fattening Meat Rabbits
Fattening meat rabbits well depends on site and housing, environment control (30–32°C for kits, 10–25°C adults, 60–65% humidity), hygiene, good breeds, regular deworming, clean feed, grouping, quiet management, and timely sale by 5 months.
Preventing and Treating Spring Rhinitis in Rex Rabbits
Spring temperature swings drive rex-rabbit rhinitis, spread by air through the respiratory tract; kits die fast, adults often go chronic and lose breeding value. Prevent with ventilation, vaccination, low density, and isolation; treat with penicillin-streptomycin injections and chloramphenicol drops.
How to Treat Eye Inflammation in Rabbits
Eye inflammation in rabbits shows as constant tearing, thick discharge, and red, swollen eyes. Act promptly—isolate the rabbit, clean the eyes, keep its diet light, and watch for pasteurella-related rhinitis. Left untreated, it can worsen or even cause blindness.
Effective Ways to Improve Rabbit Breeding Ability
Breeding ability is key in rabbit farming. This article shares how to raise breeding-stock fertility.
Why Meat Rabbits Lose Hair (and How to Prevent It)
Rabbit hair loss splits into pathological and non-pathological causes. This guide covers normal shedding, barbering, friction, malnutrition, plus mites, fungal, and bacterial disease—and how to treat each.
Infectious Stomatitis in Rabbits
Infectious stomatitis (also called 'salivation disease') is a contagious viral disease of rabbits, especially 1–3-month-old kits, often infecting a whole litter at once. It causes drooling, mouth blisters and ulcers, and can kill kits within a week without prompt treatment; isolation, topical antibiotics and good hygiene are key to control.
How is the stay suture done before a rabbit stomach incision?
Under general anesthesia and restraint, choose the incision, shave and disinfect, open the abdomen, then place a gastric stay suture: sew the stomach wall to the skin with 6-8 stitches in a ring and suspend it with stay sutures on each side before a small gastric opening.
How to Treat Coccidiosis in Rabbits
Rabbit coccidiosis is a serious, potentially fatal disease marked by diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, and a foul odor. Treat it by isolating the sick rabbit, disinfecting its cage, and giving a dewormer, with vet care if symptoms do not improve.
How to remove this growth inside my rabbit’s ear, and what spray for the ear or the lump on its back of head?
Frequent head shaking, scratching, odor, redness, scabs, and brown discharge suggest ear mites, a stubborn parasitic infection needing patient cleaning, clean ventilation, and isolation. Use rabbit ear drops to soften and wipe; use a head cone if scratching is severe.
