I would like to ask what causes stomatitis in rabbits

The oral mucosa of the rabbit is not fully developed and is relatively delicate, so it is easy to be pricked and hung by hard things such as grass. Rabbit stomatitis can be caused by not using a special kettle, having long teeth or eating moldy food!

Rabbits can get stomatitis, usually because the rabbit owner has given the rabbit unsuitable food, or the rabbit lacks some of the required vitamins. Pet owners should pay attention to it and take measures as soon as possible to help rabbits deal with stomatitis.

1. Adjust the dietary structure.

Rabbits with stomatitis will feel pain in their mouths due to chewing on the food they eat, and they will not even be able to eat because of the pain. Therefore, at this time, the rabbit is not suitable for eating some dry and hard food, and the food prepared by the pet owner for the rabbit should be as soft as possible and easy to chew. Soak soft rabbit food with warm boiled water to feed, and encourage rabbits to drink more water and replenish enough water, which is conducive to metabolism.

2. Supplement vitamin B

Rabbits will suffer from stomatitis, which is inseparable from the lack of vitamins in the body. You can feed rabbits some nutritious grasses, fruits and vegetables, etc., and add some rabbits to supplement the required vitamins to help maintain normal oral function.

3. Keep your mouth clean.

During stomatitis, pet owners should also pay attention to keeping the rabbit's mouth clean and hygienic, which is also conducive to recovery. You can use a clean wet paper towel or wet towel to wipe the saliva from the rabbit's mouth, and blow dry it in time. It is recommended to spray the mouth to help keep the mouth clean and fresh.

1. Symptoms of rabbit stomatitis.

In the early stage of rabbit stomatitis, symptoms such as redness of the oral mucosa and decreased appetite often appear, and with the development of the disease, the lips, tongue and oral mucosa of the sick rabbit may appear blisters the size of milia or a little larger, and the blisters will form ulcers or rotten spots after the blisters burst, drool, and stick to the hair on their jaws and forelimbs. In the later stage of rabbit stomatitis, the sick rabbit is not energetic, diarrhea, collapse, emaciation and even paralysis, and the sick rabbit often dies 5-10 days after the onset of the disease.

Second, rabbit stomatitis treatment methods.

1. Pay attention to the oral hygiene of sick rabbits.

When rabbits suffer from stomatitis, they often experience conditions such as drooling and even bad breath. For this reason, the owner needs to help the sick rabbit clean the mouth every day to prevent the rabbit from drooling and wetting the hair around its mouth, and then breeding bacteria and causing infection. Pet owners can use a clean cotton cloth to carefully wipe off the stains around their lips and keep the hair of the sick rabbit clean and dry.

It is recommended that pet owners spray some pet mouth green on the mouth of the sick rabbit after cleaning the mouth of the sick rabbit, which will help maintain the physiological function of the oral cavity of the sick rabbit. In addition, it is necessary for the pet owner to prepare some teething tools for the rabbit, because the rabbit needs to grind the teeth by biting hard objects, otherwise its teeth will grow very long, and the teeth are too long It is easy to rub against its oral mucosa and cause stomatitis, and the pet owner must pay attention to this.

2. Feed sick rabbits with soft and glutinous and easily digestible food.

Rabbit stomatitis during will feel abnormal pain in the gums, so it is difficult to chew and swallow the hay or dry and hard rabbit food that is usually eaten, so the pet owner feeds the rabbit at this stage, before feeding the rabbit food should be soaked in warm water to soften, and then feeding, and try to feed the rabbit with soft and glutinous and easily digestible food, even if it is fed vegetables and hay, it should be chopped and then fed to the rabbit to reduce its oral pain.

3. Vitamin supplementation.

Rabbit oral cavity may be caused by the lack of vitamins in the body, if the pet owner is always only feeding rabbit food to rabbits, and eating a single rabbit food, it is easy to cause unbalanced rabbit nutrition, lack of vitamins, and then lead to oral problems. For this reason, pet owners usually need to feed rabbits with some fresh vegetables and hay, and occasionally add an appropriate amount of rabbit Lekang to rabbit feed to help rabbits supplement vitamins and maintain nutritional balance.

The above is Dr. Claw.

The introduction of rabbit stomatitis, rabbit stomatitis is not a big disease, but it will make rabbits feel uncomfortable, this is a disease that is easy to avoid, I hope pet owners can do a good job of prevention for pet rabbits!

1. Symptoms of rabbit stomatitis.

The above mentioned rabbit stomatitis will have red and swollen gums, blisters in the mouth, mucosal ulcers and other symptoms, and the rabbit mouth will feel uncomfortable, non-stop drooling, etc., but this is only the initial symptoms of rabbit stomatitis, the important thing is that the rabbit will be because of the mouth ulcer problem, every time you chew the food will make it feel very painful and uncomfortable, if the owner still feeds the rabbit as usual, then the rabbit may refuse to eat, slowly lose weight, emaciation, and even lead to dehydration and death of the rabbit.

2. Dietary adjustment during the period of rabbit stomatitis.

For this reason, during rabbit stomatitis, it is necessary for the pet owner to adjust the rabbit's diet, and the dry and hard food that is usually fed is not suitable for the rabbit to eat, and the pet owner should try to prepare soft, chewy and digestible food for the rabbit to feed. You can chop up the hay and vegetables that are usually reasonably fed to the rabbit and then feed it; Feeding rabbit food, you should also soak the rabbit food until it is soft before feeding the rabbit, and pay attention to guide the rabbit to drink more water to keep its body hydrated.

3. Prevention and treatment of rabbit stomatitis.

I don't know how the owner usually feeds the rabbit, the pet owner must not feed the rabbit a single rabbit food for a long time, this long-term single diet can easily lead to nutritional imbalance in rabbits, once the rabbit has vitamin deficiency, especially when the lack of vitamin B, the problem of stomatitis will follow, at this time the pet owner must supplement the rabbit with vitamin B, you can mix the appropriate amount of rabbit Lekang feeding in the rabbit's feed.

1. During rabbit stomatitis, the owner should pay attention to maintaining its oral hygiene. When the rabbit suffers from stomatitis, it will secrete a lot of saliva, and will continue to flow out, pet owners need to dry the rabbit's oral secretions in time, pay more attention to the rabbit's oral hygiene and keep all its hair dry, after each rabbit eats, pay attention to check whether there is food residue in the mouth of the rabbit, if there is a timely help it deal with it, otherwise the residual residue will make the rabbit stomatitis aggravated.

2. The reason for stomatitis in rabbits may also be the lack of vitamins in the body caused by a single diet, and vitamin deficiency in rabbits can cause stomatitis. For this reason, pet owners usually need to pay attention to the rabbits to supplement some vitamins, such as rabbit Lekang. However, it is important to remember that rabbits must not be fed vitamins that humans eat, because rabbits and humans have different vitamin requirements, so as not to cause other abnormalities.

Dr. Claw. Tips: It stands to reason that rabbit stomatitis is relatively easy, if after a period of care, rabbit stomatitis is not good, then it is necessary for the pet owner to take it to the pet hospital for a check-up to prevent other abnormalities in the rabbit mouth.

What are the symptoms of stomatitis in rabbits?

Rabbit stomatitis is a common rabbit disease, caused by a variety of pathogenic bacteria, and the pathogen mainly invades the oral cavity. The following will elaborate on the symptoms of stomatitis in rabbits from several aspects.

1. Oral symptoms

Oral symptoms are the most obvious manifestations of stomatitis in rabbits, mainly including bad breath, drooling, loss of appetite, slow eating, and difficulty chewing. When rabbit stomatitis is severe, there will also be obvious symptoms such as mouth ulcers and erosion, red and swollen gums, abnormal tongue, pain in the lips and oral bleeding.

2. Ocular symptoms

Stomatitis in rabbits also often causes eye problems. The main manifestations are conjunctivitis, keratitis, corneal ulcers, red and swollen eyes and even blindness. This is because infected germs can penetrate into the eye area through the mouth, causing eye problems.

3. Respiratory symptoms

Rabbit stomatitis can also cause respiratory diseases such as laryngitis, tracheitis, and pneumonia. This is because infectious bacteria can invade the respiratory tract and lead to respiratory infections, which can cause corresponding symptoms. Such as shortness of breath, wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.

4. Systemic symptoms

Rabbit stomatitis can also cause some systemic symptoms, such as fever, increased body temperature, listlessness, and decreased physical strength. This is because after the rabbit is infected with germs, the immune system will enter a state of attack, which will consume a lot of physical strength, which will affect the physiological health of the rabbit.

In summary, rabbit stomatitis has a variety of symptoms, including oral symptoms, eye symptoms, respiratory symptoms, and systemic symptoms, among others. Once it is found that the rabbit is becoming more and more reluctant to eat, has bad breath and has obvious abnormalities in the mouth, you should take the rabbit to a regular pet hospital in time to receive a professional **.

Herbivorous rabbits are more uncomfortable after suffering from stomatitis, the rabbit's mouth will become red and swollen and even have some small blisters, and the rabbit will drool frequently, and it will be relatively difficult to eat. After finding that the rabbit has stomatitis, the owner should help it deal with it as soon as possible to avoid the rabbit stomatitis getting more and more serious.

First of all, the rabbit's diet can be adjusted, stop feeding dry rabbit food, choose some fiber-rich high-quality forage to feed, such as alfalfa grass, Timuxi grass, etc. can be cut into small pieces and then given to the rabbit to eat, food near the installation of a hanging kettle, easy for the rabbit to replenish water at any time, will also be conducive to moisturizing its mouth.

Rabbit stomatitis, may also be a lack of vitamins in the body, pet owners may wish to mix some rabbit Lekang in the feeding, to help rabbits supplement the vitamins needed, take good care of the mouth. In the future, we should also pay attention to avoid the rabbit's diet being too simple, and give the rabbit some fruits and vegetables and coarse grains in a timely manner.

Rabbits with stomatitis, drooling will be more frequent, the owner should pay attention to clean its mouth, wipe it with a clean cotton towel frequently, during which you can also use normal saline to rinse the mouth to help reduce the retention of bacteria, and then spray it with pet mouth green to help the rabbit clean and care for the mouth, maintain oral hygiene.

The following three methods can** stomatitis in rabbits:

The first one, at the beginning of the disease, rinse the affected part repeatedly with 50 ml of normal saline, and evenly apply the oral ulcer powder (produced by Beijing Tong Ren Tang) to the lesion area with a cotton swab, twice a day for three days, to achieve the first purpose.

The second is to take sulfadimethylpyrimidine orally for 5 pounds, double it for the first time, and use it with baking soda tablets for three to five days to make the sick rabbit eat normally.

Third, in the later stage of the disease, rinse the ulcerated oral cavity with 2 boric acid water, drink 5 to 10 ml of rehydration salts, and apply erythromycin ointment to the lesion area, twice a day for five days.

Experience: rabbit stomatitis, prevention-oriented, pay attention to the rabbit house to keep dry, the surrounding environment is often disinfected, and drugs are often added to the feed to achieve the purpose of prevention. It is also important to avoid the effects of stress and other external factors.

Generally, it is drooling, there is a yellow liquid sticking around the mouth and nose, the hair is wisps, it cannot be wiped off, it will turn green after a long time, and it will affect appetite and even death. The following is my post, please refer to it.

You have to take the medicine as soon as possible, and there will be a lot of hope. If there is no medication for more than 5 days, the chance of Tutu surviving is very small.

**: You need to buy iodine glycerin and gentamicin sulfate as well as medical cotton swabs, iodine glycerin can be bought in general pharmacies, and gentamicin sulfate can be bought in pet hospitals.

First use a cotton swab dipped in iodine glycerin, apply it to the mouth and mouth of the rabbit, at this time, if the cotton swab turns black, don't worry about it is normal, after applying iodine glycerin twice, apply gentamicin sulfate, also twice. In this way, the medicine is applied twice a day, and the hair on the side of the rabbit's mouth will slowly dry out, and it will not be wet. Generally, the drug should be used for 1-2 weeks, and then stop the drug when the rabbit is completely **, and finally wash the hair on the side of its mouth, because the hair is stuck together, and it is not comfortable for itself

<> the onset of the disease, the sick rabbit should be isolated immediately, and the drug can be used to rinse the oral cavity with 2% boric acid, 2% alum solution, or 1% saline, and then coated with iodine glycerin, 2% copper sulfate solution or crystal violet, and soda water as drinking water; Feed that is soft and easy to digest should be chosen; Rabbit houses, rabbit cages, utensils, etc. can be disinfected with 1%-2% sodium hydroxide, 20% hot plant ash or peracetic acid.

1. Rabbit stomatitis.

The ** demolition stupidity.

1-4 months old young rabbits are prone to stomatitis, rabbit stomatitis is mostly because rabbits accidentally eat feed or drinking water contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms, the virus is infected through the oral mucosa, especially rabbits with trauma to the mouth, more likely to be infected with stomatitis. Therefore, pet owners must ensure that the rabbit usually eats cleanly, and pay more attention to avoid oral trauma to the rabbit due to the feeding trough and cage. Because the disease is more common in young rabbits, so pet owners need to observe more young rabbits, pay attention to check the mouth and chin of young rabbits every day, if the young rabbits have drooling, wet and dirty hair around the lips, and smelly, it is almost possible to judge that the young rabbits have stomatitis, in this regard, we must let the rabbits accept ** as soon as possible, so that the hope of ** will be greater, such as the young rabbit infected 5 days has not got**, then its hope of survival is very slim.

2. Give the sick rabbit sulfadimethazine to treat the travel delay, and the dosage is used: kg body weight of the drug, once a day, for 3 consecutive days.

4. Use alum grinding and half of the white sugar mixed well and sprinkle it into the mouth of the sick rabbit, repeat 3 times a day, 5-6 grams for large rabbits each time, 2-3 grams for small rabbits, after the use of medicine, you need to let the sick rabbit stop eating and water for half an hour, generally after 2 3 times of continuous use**.

Dr. Paw's warm reminder: If rabbit stomatitis can be detected in time, in time, then the difficulty is not great, and it will be able to do so soon, but if it is not able to be timely, the sick rabbit can lose its life! Therefore, if the pet owner finds that the young rabbit has drooling symptoms, it must not be ignored!
