Types of enteritis in rabbits and how to prevent them
There are many types of enteritis in rabbits, different Types of rabbit enteritis prevention methods are different, mainly include:
1. Rabbit parasitic enteritis. This type of enteritis is mainly caused by the parasitic infection of coccidia. If the young rabbit suffers from parasitic enteritis, the pet owner can prolong the weaning time of the young rabbit and add high-efficiency antibiotics to the feed of the young rabbit at the right time. Coccidial drugs to prevent parasitic enteritis.
2. Bacterial enteritis in rabbits. Rabbits suffering from this type of enteritis are mainly caused by bacterial infections such as Escherichia coli and Pasteurella. For Escherichia coli, pet owners need to reasonably allocate rabbit feed to ensure that the proportion of crude fiber in the rabbit feed is appropriate, to ensure that the rabbit’s drinking water is clean and harmless, and it is strictly forbidden to feed the rabbit with spoiled feed. For Clostridium welchii, pet owners should strengthen the feed replacement work when the rabbits are weaned, such as feeding the young rabbits an appropriate amount of high-protein-rich hay to adjust the rabbit’s stomach. For Pasteurella, pet owners need to pay attention to the ventilation work of the rabbit house, and pay attention to reducing the occurrence of pathogens of the disease, and can add an appropriate amount of naso-anal net or olaquindox to the rabbit’s feed for prevention.
3. Toxic enteritis. Toxic enteritis in rabbits is mainly caused by long-term consumption of moldy feed. The main symptom of the disease is severe diarrhea in sick rabbits. Necropsy of sick rabbits can see congestion and ulceration of their internal organs. Rabbit poisoning enteritis is extremely difficult to treat, and sick rabbits are generally difficult to be cured. Since rabbit toxic enteritis and enteritis caused by Pasteurella and Clostridium welchii have a common feature, that is, the vulva of the sick rabbit is ulcerated and attracts flies, so it is necessary to distinguish the enteritis caused by these three different causes. Generally, rabbit pasteurellosis is mainly characterized by rhinitis, and rabbit clostridium welchii disease is mainly characterized by diarrhea.
4. Stress enteritis. In the early autumn, the indoor and outdoor temperatures are relatively high, which can easily lead to stress enteritis in rabbits. For this reason, pet owners need to strengthen the ventilation of the rabbit house, reduce the breeding density of rabbits, and be prepared to cool down at any time, and keep warm measures for rabbits in time.
We summarize:
To prevent and treat rabbits from colitis in autumn, comprehensive preventive measures should be taken, and the rabbit house should be disinfected once a day. Keep the rabbit house clean and hygienic; avoid feeding your rabbits moldy feed; take care to eliminate flies and mosquitoes in the rabbit house, and more!
