I. Symptoms of Bordetosis in rabbits
Rabbit bordellos are the most common in spring and autumn. The respiratory tracts mainly infect healthy rabbits through contact with droplets and polluted air of sick rabbits. Poor feeding and management, humidity in the rabbit house, malnutrition, sudden climate changes, gas irritation, parasites, and colds are all irritating factors that make rabbits’ upper respiratory tract mucosa fragile. Under the influence of these stimuli, it is more likely to cause rabbit Bordetella disease. . Sick rabbits and rabbits carrying Bordetella rabbits are the primary source of infection for Bordetella rabbits, which can excrete pathogenic bacteria in nasal secretions and exhaled air. Rhinitis-type rabbit Bordetella disease is usually endemic, and the bronchopneumonia type is primarily sporadic. Young rabbits are highly likely to contract the disease and can die after becoming ill. Adult rabbits are less likely to have this disease.
Sick rabbits generally have two types of symptoms, rhinitis type, and bronchopneumonia type. The former usually shows nasal mucosa congestion, an outflow of serous or mucus, and usually no pus; Healing, discharge of nasal secretions such as mucus or pus, sneezing, loss of appetite, gradual weight loss, etc.
Second, prevention and control measures for rabbit borreliosis.
1. Adhere to self-propagation and self-support, and try to avoid introducing breeding rabbits in unsafe rabbit farms. When introducing breeding rabbits, observe them in isolation for more than one month, and then breed them together after confirming that the breeding rabbits are free of disease.
2. Strengthen feeding and management to prevent rabbits from being stimulated by the outside world. Keep the rabbit house ventilated to prevent the rabbit from being stimulated by abnormal gas; keep the rabbit house’s temperature and humidity suitable, and avoid the rabbit house from being wet and cold.
3. Regularly clean and disinfect the rabbit house and keep the rabbit house clean and dry. Regularly disinfect the rabbit house, cages, bedding, etc. The disinfection drugs can use 3% Lysol, 1% ~ 2% sodium hydroxide solution, 1% ~ 2% formalin solution, etc.; clean up daily Excrement and dirt in the house.
4. Immunization. When the rabbits meet the requirements of immunity, immediately inoculate them with rabbit wave, Pasteurella double inactivated vaccine or rabbit plague, Pasteurella rabbit, rabbit Bordetella triple inactivated propolis vaccine. Insist on immunizing rabbits once a year in spring and fall.
5. Pay attention to the daily observation of the rabbit group and timely find and eliminate the sick rabbits with rhinitis symptoms to prevent them from causing infection in the whole group.
Third, the treatment of rabbit borreliosis.
1. Isolation and treatment: Isolate the sick rabbits the first time, observe and treat the sick rabbits; at the same time, use 1% cresol soap solution or 100 toxin solution to disinfect the rabbit farm to eliminate Bordetella rabbits in the rabbit farm.
2. Emergency vaccination: If a rabbit is found to be sick, the sick rabbit should be immediately inoculated with the combined inactivated vaccine of rabbit wave and pasteurellosis. Each sick rabbit is injected intramuscularly with 2ml.
3. Drug treatment: using anti-Gram-negative bacteria antibiotics and sulfonamides to treat rabbit Bordetella disease can have a specific effect, such as kanamycin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, Phthaloylsulfathiazole, and other drugs.
4. Symptomatic treatment: If sick rabbits have rhinitis-type symptoms, an appropriate amount of “Rhinyanjing” can be mixed into the drinking water for the sick rabbits to drink water freely, and the rhinitis symptoms of the sick rabbits can be effectively relieved after taking it. ; If there are sick rabbits with pustular symptoms, they should be eliminated in time if the treatment is ineffective. During this period, it is also necessary to observe whether the sick rabbit will relapse after being cured.
