Common Diseases In Rabbits
Dental & Oral Disease
Rabbit teeth grow continuously throughout life. If tooth wear is insufficient or the bite is misaligned, overgrown molars, sharp spurs, oral ulcers, and even tooth-root issues can occur. Signs may include drooling, picky eating, reduced appetite, and weight loss. We provide oral examinations and imaging assessments when needed, along with dental procedures, pain management, and diet advice to improve eating ability and comfort.
Gastrointestinal Stasis & Digestive Tract Problems
Reduced or stopped GI motility is one of the most common rabbit emergencies. It may be associated with pain, stress, dehydration, insufficient fiber, or other underlying diseases. Common signs include refusing food, fewer stools or no stools, lethargy, and abdominal discomfort. Early intervention is usually required, including fluids, pain control, GI support, and identifying the primary cause. Hospitalization for monitoring may be arranged when needed to stabilize the condition.
Respiratory Infection & Abnormal Breathing
If a rabbit develops nasal discharge, sneezing, louder breathing sounds, or labored breathing, it may be related to infection, environmental irritants (dust, ammonia), or other respiratory issues. We will arrange clinical assessment and relevant tests as needed, then provide appropriate medication and nursing guidance. For more severe cases, oxygen support and inpatient monitoring may be considered.
Urinary System Problems
Urinary issues in rabbits may present as frequent urination, straining to urinate, cloudy urine or blood in urine, pain, and reduced activity. Diagnosis can involve urine testing and imaging when needed. Treatment commonly includes fluids, pain control, and dietary adjustment. If stones or obstruction are involved, further procedures or surgical arrangements may be required.
