Causes and prevention of rabbit sneezing:
For us, sneezing is the second A normal thing, sometimes the nasal mucosa is irritated and sneezing occurs. Of course, respiratory infections can also cause sneezing, so sneezing can be divided into normal and abnormal, and the same is true for pet rabbits.
Sneezing in pet rabbits may be caused by upper respiratory tract infections or allergies.
Upper respiratory infection refers to bacterial infection of the rabbit's sinuses and other respiratory passages (except the lungs). When rabbits sneeze, they will also have runny nose and even some tears in their eyes.
Upper respiratory tract infections in rabbits are mostly caused by bacteria, the most common being Pasteurella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. Rabbits do not get viral colds like humans, and upper respiratory tract infections in rabbits are caused by bacteria.
Allergic, that is to say there is an allergen. But the most common allergies in rabbits are caused by dust, in addition to dust and debris in the environment, as well as debris in feed and hay. If the allergy is not improved for a long time, it will also evolve into a respiratory problem.
Causes of tears in rabbits and how to prevent them:
It is common in our daily life for pet rabbits to cry. However, there are many situations that cause them to cry, so we must understand the cause before dealing with it, otherwise it may make the situation worse.
1. General conjunctivitis in rabbits is defined as inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by other pathogens 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. 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. .
4. There are small bubbles on the edge of the eye or 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.
5. 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.
6. Long-term wrong feeding, providing the wrong food to the rabbit will cause the teeth to not wear normally, or not feeding the rabbit to eat grass, causing the teeth to not wear normally, 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.
7. Rabbits have long eyelashes due to genetics or external reasons, which stimulates the eyeballs and leads to tears.
8. 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.
Nine, the dust flying on the floor enters the rabbit's eyes, and the dust particles in the rabbit's food and grass enter the rabbit's eyes.
10. Many rabbits with long hair will have the problem of rabbit hair entering the eyes, or the eye secretions will be too much for a long time.
