Tears do not necessarily represent emotions, but can sometimes be a symbol of disease. Rabbit weeps for no reason, we must not be careless and ignore it. Because it is possible that the rabbit is sick. So what are the reasons that cause Tutu to cry? Why do rabbits cry? First of all, we must understand clearly, otherwise healthy rabbits will fall in our hands!
1. General conjunctivitis in rabbits is defined as inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by bacteria other than Pasteurella.
2. The rabbit eyes are infected with conjunctivitis caused by Pasteurella multocida. This disease is mostly secondary to rabbit rhinitis. The rabbits infect the nose of Pasteurella to the eyes by washing their faces. .
3. There are small bubbles on the edge of the eye or at the corner of the eye, the eye mucus increases, and sometimes the eyeball is irritated by the friction of the small bubble, causing tears, knotted hair at the corner of the eye, no edema of the eyelid, and slight redness and swelling on the edge of the eye.
4. Rabbits have this disease due to eyelid infection with mites. Or when the front and back feet are infected with mites, the rabbit can spread the mites to the eyes by scratching or washing their faces.
5. Long-term wrong feeding, providing the wrong food to the rabbit will cause the teeth to not wear out normally, or not feeding the rabbit to eat grass, causing the teeth to not wear out properly, and then causing the root of the tooth to grow back. When the root of the tooth is against the nasolacrimal duct , It will cause tears to flow normally and then tear. When the root of the tooth pierces the eye socket, it will irritate the eye and cause redness and tearing, and the eyeball will protrude slightly.
6. Rabbits have long eyelashes due to genetic or external reasons, which stimulates the eyeballs and causes tears.
7. The indoor air is dirty, the rabbit cage is not cleaned for a long time, the indoor ventilation is not smooth, and the ammonia gas in the rabbit urine stimulates the eyes of the rabbit to cry.
8. The dust flying on the floor enters the rabbit's eyes, and the dust particles in the rabbit food and grass enter the rabbit's eyes.
9. Many rabbits with long hair will have the problem of rabbit hair entering the eyes, or there will be too much eye secretions for a long time.
10. Foreign body irritation is a common cause, and it is more common in long-haired rabbits. Long-haired rabbits are often easily irritated by hair, so some rabbits will secrete more eye mucus, and young or old rabbits may be more common. Under this kind of stimulation, the rabbit easily shed tears. Of course, in addition to the irritation of the hair, other foreign objects, such as sand entering the rabbit's eyes, etc., will cause the rabbit to cry.
11. Skin diseases can also cause abnormal tears in rabbits. For example, if a rabbit has a large area of skin disease, skin disease caused by mites, fungi, or a combination of mites and fungi, especially rabbits with severe skin disease on the head, the eyes will also be implicated, resulting in abnormal tearing. . At the same time, affected by skin diseases, the eyes of rabbits are also susceptible to conjunctivitis and so on.
