Therefore, as the hot summer arrives, rabbit farmers are especially reminded never to forget to guard against heatstroke in rabbits in summer.

Precautions: set up simple shade shelters around the rabbit hutch or spread shade netting. Open all doors and windows of the hutch to let the air circulate; splash well water on the walls and floor inside the hutch to cool it down; provide the rabbits with plenty of clean drinking water, and feed more fresh green forage and an appropriate amount of watermelon rind, cucumber peel, etc., to help the rabbits quench their thirst and prevent heatstroke.

Treatment methods: for rabbits showing heatstroke symptoms such as weakness in all four limbs, feverish body, rapid breathing, flaccid paralysis or already lying prostrate and motionless, promptly move them to a cool, well-ventilated place, apply cold water compresses to the rabbit's head, and at the same time mix 2 to 3 drops of Shidishui or 2 to 3 pills of Rendan into water, stir evenly, and slowly administer it to the sick rabbit by drenching. Heatstroke rabbits treated by the above methods, after being allowed to rest fully, can all achieve good recovery results.
