First, the incentive of rabbit infectious rhinitis
Pastemonella multocida is the main cause of rabbit infectious rhinitis Pathogens, which exist in the nasal mucosa of almost every rabbit. Generally, rabbits will not get sick when their physique is good, but once the resistance of the rabbit’s body decreases, it will multiply rapidly and cause the disease.
The incidence of infectious rhinitis in rabbits has a certain seasonality, but the seasonality is not obvious and can occur throughout the year, among which the incidence is higher in spring and autumn. The pathogenic bacteria of rabbit rhinitis can be isolated from the nasal mucosa of most rabbits. Usually, there are no clinical symptoms. However, under the influence of various stress factors, such as high stocking density, poor feeding and management, rabbit house Factors such as poor ambient air quality, long-distance transportation, and sudden climate changes lead to a decline in the resistance of the rabbit’s body. At this time, the pathogenic bacteria in the rabbit’s respiratory tract will rapidly multiply and invade the lower respiratory tract, causing lung diseases.
II. Types of clinical symptoms of infectious rhinitis in rabbits
It can be mainly divided into sepsis type, pneumonia type and These three types of rhinitis.

2. Types of pneumonia. This condition is characterized by acute fibrinous purulent pneumonia and pleurisy. The rabbit suffers from loss of appetite or stops eating, depression, dyspnea and loud breath sounds, and thick yellow or milky mucus from the nostrils. The rabbits die of breathing. exhaustion or sepsis.
3. Types of rhinitis. The rabbit’s nostrils discharge serous fluid or viscous purulent nasal fluid, frequent sneezing, and the spirit and appetite are not too affected. Some rabbits with rhinitis have symptoms that last for several months or even a year or two, until the symptoms finally disappear or change to Deaths from other types of illnesses ended.
