EPEC | Enteropathogenic E. Coli Infection |
Most common neoplasia in young rabbits male and female | Lymphosarcoma |
"Hutch Burn" | Moist dermatitis |
This will predispose bunnies to heatstrokes and hypothermia | >85 F and >70% humidity |
Clostridia perfringens, difficil and spiroforme are ... | bacteria that disrupts the normal flora causing enterotoxemia |
Causative agent of pasteurellosis (snuffles) in rabbits | Pasturella multocida |
Thought to be a copathogen in "snuffles" (facilitates pasteurella infection) | Boardatella bronchispeca |
Fortunately, not a common problem in rabbits (causative agent is clostridium piliforme) gerbils are used as the sentinel | Tyzzer's DZ |
Baytril, chloramphenicol and metronidazole are... | antibiotics used in rabbits that are less harmful |
Lactobacillus preparations | prevent and treat enterotoxemia and replaces the normal flora |
Treatment not recommended due to potential zoonotic transmission (D+, septicemia, rapid death) this is relatively uncommon in rabbits. | salmonellosis |
"Blue breast" in rabbits (caused by lactation, pseudopregnancy, pasturellosis) | mastitis |
Causative agent of "vent dz" and "rabbit syphilis" | Treponema cunicut/ venereal spirochetosis (non-pathogenic to humans) |
Affects mostly hunters and wildlife personnel from contact with wild rabbits (arthropod vectors). This is a potentially fatal zoonotic dz | tularemia caused by francisella tularenosis |
One of the most common causes of conjunctivitis, may be seen in a number of forms such as spticemia, dermatitis, and abscess formation. may cause mastitis in does | STAPH aureus |
Erythromycin, lincomycin and antirobe are... | antibiotics that should be avoided in rabbits |
the natural host is the cottontail, but the vector is the mosquito for this poxvirus | myxomatosis (CS: SQ masses, conjunctivitis and edema) |
The rabbit ear mite, head shaking | Psoroptes cuniculi |

The most common neoplasia in does (85% over the age of 5) prevention is OHE | Uterine adrenocarcinoma |
Inherited form of glaucoma in rabbits, enucleation can be done | Buphthalmia |
Gastric hairballs, prevention is a high fiber diet, CS are no fecal production but normal appearance otherwise (in most cases) | Trichobezoar |
Sudden onset of posterior paralysis is the clinical sign (unfavorable prognosis) may be caused by improper handling | Lumbar fractures / dislocations (L7 - S1) |
Eimeria magna, perforans, media, irresidua (few if any CS) | Intestinal coccidiosis |
"Sore hocks" in rabbits (affects ventral metatrasal region) | Pododermatitis |
High calcium excretion by the kidneys causes this relatively common problem in rabbits. | Urolithisis |
CS are acidosis and clear urine (common in obese, pregnant rabbits) treatment is difficult, but LRS, reduced carb diet are some things that can be done. | Ketosis |
Short upper jaw, may be inherited causing dental problems | Prognathic jaw |
"Head tilit" may be a CS of pasteurellosis in rabbits or ear infection | Torticollis |
This agent of hepatic coccidiosis that normally shows no CS in adults but may affect young rabbits | Eimeria steidae |
