Rabbit contagious conjunctivitis, or red-eye tearing, is a common type of eye disease in rabbits. Most of them develop in summer. Young rabbits and adult rabbits have multiple infections, and they have a rapid infection rate and a high incidence rate. The main vectors of the disease are mosquitoes and some moths.
The main symptoms of rabbits
Eye conjunctiva is red and swollen, tears flow, purulent discharge from the corners of the eyes, difficulty in opening the sticky eyes, or half-closed eyes, sometimes fever, loss of appetite, lack of energy, dull urine yellow, severe photophobia, swollen eyes, and often secondary Corneal ulceration causes eye blinking.
Rabbits with infectious conjunctivitis should be immediately isolated from a dry, dark rabbit house for treatment, and should be given environmental disinfection and extermination of mosquitoes and flies.
Treatment measures
First flush eyes with light saline, and then apply the affected area with gentamicin, penicillin, and tetracycline ointment once or twice a day.
The affected area was coated with atropine ointment once or twice a day.
Intramuscular injection of tetracycline 2 mg/kilogram body weight once every two days.
Honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, green box, grass Cassia each 5 grams, fed with Jianshui, and use this liquid to wash eyes.
Rabbit conjunctivitis in summer is mostly endemic. Rabbits are found to be generally disinfected after rabbits are found, and some commonly used disinfectants can be used.
