| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conjunctivitis, rhinitis, S+, mucopurulent discharge, bronchopneumonia are all clinical signs of ... | pasteurellosis |
| 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 rabbit dandruff mite (a fur mite) zoonotic (thinning of fur, scaly lesions) | Cheyletiella poristovorax |
| 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 |
