Common treatments for rabbit diseases
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy: When rabbits are infected by a mixed infection of positive and negative bacteria, penicillin and streptomycin, which have a synergistic effect, or broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs can be selected. When inflammation occurs in the digestive tract, potassium permanganate, berberine, etc. can be used, all of which have strong antibacterial effects against digestive tract bacteria.
Stomachic therapy: Suitable for digestive tract disorder diseases, such as indigestion, gastrointestinal sluggishness, loss of appetite, gastroenteritis, etc. If the sick rabbit's mouth is moist with excessive fluid, it is due to excessive gastric acid, and an alkaline stomachic agent can be used to neutralize the gastric acid. 1-2 grams of artificial salt plus an appropriate amount of warm water can be given to the rabbit by gavage.
Purgative therapy: Purgative therapy is a commonly used quick-acting therapy to rapidly eliminate toxic substances in the gastrointestinal tract, reduce the stimulation and absorption of toxins on the gastrointestinal mucosa, and prevent autointoxication. It is divided into mild purgation and drastic purgation. Mild purgation is suitable for sick rabbits with slightly dry feces, slow defecation, and a relatively strong abnormal odor. 4-6 grams of artificial salt can be added to warm water to make a 5% solution and administered orally at one time.
Drastic purgation is suitable for constipated sick rabbits. 5 grams of magnesium sulfate can be made into a 5% solution with warm water and administered orally (note: prepare immediately before use). If 1 gram of rhubarb powder can be used in combination, the therapeutic effect is even better.
Antidiarrheal therapy: Long-term diarrhea will cause dehydration, salt loss, and alkali loss in sick rabbits, leading to electrolyte imbalance. Therefore, for non-infectious diarrhea, when the sick rabbit has already shown symptoms of dehydration, antidiarrheal treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. For mild diarrhea, adsorbents can be used, and 0.5-1 gram of activated carbon can be administered orally. For moderate diarrhea, astringents can be used, and 0.5-0.6 grams of bismuth subcarbonate can be administered orally. For persistent diarrhea, intestinal astringent antidiarrheal agents can be used, and 0.5-1 gram of silver-activated carbon can be administered orally. Gentamicin, berberine, sulfaguanidine, etc. can also be used orally or by intramuscular injection, and the therapeutic effects are all relatively rapid. For dehydrated rabbits, attention should always be paid to fluid infusion and rehydration. Lovibond colorimeter, handheld refractometer, fat analyzer.
