Fungal skin disease in rabbits
Fungal alopecia in rabbits is also known as fungal skin in rabbits sick. Rabbit fungal skin diseases can generally be divided into the following two categories: 1. Microsporum fungal skin diseases; 2. Rabbit dermatophytes caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
I. Rabbit Microsporum Dermatosis
Rabbit Microsporum Dermatosis is a highly contagious and zoonotic disease. The disease is very difficult to treat and very difficult to cure. Rabbit microspore fungal skin disease mainly affects the thin skin and tender parts of the rabbit, such as the rabbit’s nose, lips, eye circles, ears, anus, genitals and breasts. In addition, there will be obvious reddish-brown crusts on the skin of the sick rabbits. The disease mainly affects young rabbits and nursing female rabbits.
It is difficult to completely cure the microspore fungal skin disease in rabbits. Once a rabbit is found to be suffering from this disease, there is no need to consider treating the sick rabbit. Disease-proof rabbits cause larger infections. In addition, it is necessary to strictly disinfect the rabbit farm to prevent future problems.
II. Rabbit psoriasis caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes
In the early stage of psoriasis in rabbits, erythema will appear on the nose, ear roots, back and tail. Afterwards, the skin of the sick rabbit will have clear white thick scabs, and local skin hair loss and dry and dull skin will also appear. The head, neck, back, tail and other easily rubbed parts of the sick rabbit will also appear crusts and scales, and the hair will fall off.
Rabbit psoriasis is generally mild, and the disease develops slowly and the damage is mild. The owner can use anti-beriberi drugs for human use to wipe the affected area, and can add it to the rabbit’s feed. Flavomycin 40 ~ 80 mg/kg, generally used for 1 ~ 2 courses of treatment for the sick rabbits, the disease of the sick rabbits can be effectively relieved.
Our summary: According to different conditions of rabbit fungal skin diseases, different treatment methods are adopted. In the event of a skin disease of microsporidium in rabbits, the sick rabbit should be incinerated as soon as possible because the disease is difficult to treat. If the disease is rabbit psoriasis, you can insist on using antibacterial drug treatment for the sick rabbit. Finally, I hope this introduction can be helpful to you!
