Prevention and treatment of "failure" disease in rabbits

The pathogen of rabbit failure is Pasteurella multocida. When the external environment changes, poor feeding and management, weakening the resistance of rabbits, Pasteurella multocida on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract take advantage of the opportunity to cause disease, and the tissue of the body bleeds and fails, hence the name "hemorrhagic septicemia" disease, referred to as "hemorrhagic septicemia" disease.

(1) symptoms and symptoms

1. The rabbits of acute type suddenly fell to the ground and died without any clinical symptoms. But most of the diseased rabbits had mental distress, apnea, dyspnea, body temperature rising to more than 41 ℃, serous secretion from nasal cavity, sometimes diarrhea, trembling and spasm. the course of disease usually died in 3-5 hours and 12-24 hours.

2. Subacute rabbits with dyspnea, often sneezing and coughing, mucous and purulent nasal discharge, rales breathing, joint swelling, conjunctivitis, diarrhea and death can be heard in the lung area.

3. Catarrhal inflammation occurs in the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract of rabbits with chronic disease, mucinous, serous and purulent secretions flow out of the nasal cavity, sneeze and cough, and the forefeet are often used to rub the nose with the bacteria to infect the ears, eyes and scratched skin. Make the rabbit cause eye conjunctiva, cornea inflammation, middle ear inflammation, wound suppuration and so on. If it is not treated in time, it will eventually lead to malnutrition, weight loss and death.

(2) Preventive measures

1. Strengthen the scientific feeding and management of rabbits, conscientiously improve environmental hygiene, improve body quality, enhance disease resistance, and pay special attention to preventing the invasion and harm of colds and parasitic diseases caused by climate change.

2. The feces, dirt and garbage removed from the rabbit house must be treated by fermentation, strict disinfection and regular quarantine.

3. For newly introduced rabbits, we must adhere to the epidemic prevention principle of isolation, observation and feeding for 15 days, confirm that those who are healthy and disease-free, and then enter the market for scientific breeding.

4. For rabbits with particularly serious diseases, they should be culled decisively and eliminated in time, and dirt such as carcasses must be disinfected at a bottom.

5. It is particularly important that "rabies vaccination" must be carried out every year to cultivate healthy rabbits.

(3) treatment methods

1. The affected rabbits with good price and high price should be subcutaneously injected with 4-5 ml of Kangfui serum per kilogram of body weight, and then injected again 8-10 hours after the first injection; for other kinds of rabbits, 2-3 ml of Kangfui serum could be injected subcutaneously per kg body weight to form a temporary group immune effect.

2. Nasal drops of penicillin or streptomycin containing 20-30,000 units per milliliter were given to diseased rabbits, 3-5 drops each time, 3-4 times a day for 5-7 days.

3. Use 1% ephedrine and chloramphenicol eye drops at the same time, 3-4 drops each time, 3-4 times a day, oral sulfadiazine or sulfamethazine 0.1 g per kg body weight, twice a day.

4. Precious breeding rabbits can be injected intramuscularly with penicillin and streptomycin sulfate per kilogram of body weight at the same time, twice a day for 3-5 days.

5. The diseased rabbits with a long course of disease were fed 3 times a day after adding 225 grams per ton of feed with sulfaquine.

6. Traditional Chinese medicine prescription: 5 grams of honeysuckle, 3 grams of chrysanthemum, 1.5 grams of Coptis chinensis, 2 grams of Phellodendron chinensis, 1.5 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 8 grams of dandelion and 1.5 grams of Radix Paeoniae Rubra were fed with a small amount of concentrate for 10 times.
