Occurrence Patterns of Rabbit Infectious Rhinitis
Infectious rhinitis in rabbits follows clear, predictable patterns. Incidence rises with higher stocking density, certain cage arrangements, the rearing method, the rabbit's breed and age, and seasonal temperature swings. Understanding these patterns helps breeders reduce outbreaks through better housing and management.
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.
