Pay attention to the health of rabbits, not only from the diet, pets owners should also give the rabbits to drink more water. If rabbits drink too little water for a long time, it will easily cause urinary tract stones.

Urinary organ disease (urolithiasis)

pet network Xiaobian introduced that rabbits suffered from Symptoms of urolithiasis: A condition in which calcium stones form, blockage, or injure the urinary tract. Generally, urination will cause pain with stones, poor appetite, immobility, shrinking into a ball, grinding teeth, hematuria and other states. Symptoms do not appear until the stone damages the urinary tract. At first, the back is curled up because of the pain, and sometimes the abdomen is tense. This sometimes disappears after a while. Once the pain intensifies, teeth grinding will occur. Hematuria can also occur after an injury to the urinary tract. And it will instantly turn black. Frequent urination if complicated with cystitis. If the stone is plugged in the urethra, the urge to urinate will not appear, or even not at all. The whole body will become lethargic, and the appetite will also become poor.

Reason: Insufficient water intake is the biggest reason. Excessive calcium intake, or a natural constitution problem.

Prevention and treatment: How much water does it drink? Only the owner knows best, and he observes more on weekdays. If there are suspected symptoms, and if the veterinarian's diagnosis is a stone, surgery may be required. After treatment, if you do not need medical treatment, you can take care of yourself at home. Some rabbits experience stress in unfamiliar hospitals, such as barking dogs and strange smells. To increase appetite, feed small amounts of grains and vegetables. If you don't eat at all, you can also feed ordinary boxed snacks, discuss with your veterinarian, and consider feeding liquid food temporarily. After the disease has come to an end, it is necessary to correct the problem points of the feeding place, such as checking whether there is a problem with the water bottle? If you do not drink water, use vegetables to supplement it. Reconsider calcium-rich foods.
