Identification points of healthy Rabbit and diseased Rabbit

The healthy rabbit has bright eyes, active and clever eyes, quick response, lying or lying on its side to rest, eyes fully open when awake, eyes half-closed during false bedtime, eyes completely closed during sleep, and ears raised as soon as they are alarmed. If it is found that the rabbit is slow to react and has no mind in its eyes, it is sick.

2 the healthy rabbit has a strong appetite, eats more and fast, chews forcefully, grabs the cage door with his front claws before adding materials, jumps, and is eager to ask for food. If it is found that rabbits do not eat or move very slowly, when they want to eat but do not eat, they are sick, sometimes good and sometimes bad, mostly for chronic digestive diseases.

(3) the normal feces of rabbits were round or oval, smooth and soft. If it is found that some rabbit dung is pointed and not shaped, it is generally early gastroenteritis; dung dry pile, and with sour smell, generally injured food; feces such as water is diarrhea; gel-like and stench is dysentery.

Touch the healthy rabbit ear pink, the ear shell is clean, hold the rabbit ear should be slightly cool. Female rabbit in estrus or sick rabbit, hold rabbit ear feel hot, check if it is not estrus, it is fever caused by disease.

(5) the skin of healthy rabbits on the contact surface is soft and elastic, with a bright coat and close to the body. If it is found that the rabbit's skin has scabies, lumps, rough and dishevelled coat, touching the back bone protruding, grabbing a handful of skin, indicating that there is a chronic disease or the feeding level is too low.

6 healthy rabbit eyes are bright and bright, and the corners of the eyes are clean, such as red and swollen eyes, tears, eye droppings, and some even stick to the eyes, which means sick; there is no mucus accumulation in and around the nostrils of healthy rabbits, touch the nasal mirror with your hands, it should be wet and cool in summer, dry and warm in winter, if there are mucus and attachments around the rabbit nostrils, the nose is dry in summer, cool in winter, sneezing, mostly respiratory diseases.

7 the breathing of rabbits can be seen from the enlargement and contraction of the chest. The healthy rabbits breathe 20 times 40 times per minute and the young rabbits 40 times per minute. If you have heart and gastrointestinal diseases, you can breathe faster and have difficulty breathing.

(8) the body temperature of healthy rabbits was 38.5 ℃ ~ 39.5 ℃. It is necessary to use thermometer to measure suspected diseased rabbits. The common operation method is as follows: the thermometer sits down, clamps the rabbit upside down between his legs, throws the mercury column of the thermometer below 35 ℃, sterilizes it with alcohol cotton balls, smears some vegetable oil, gently inserts it into the anus, and takes it out for observation after 3 minutes. If the body temperature exceeds 40 ℃, it is abnormal, and the occurrence of colds and other acute infectious diseases can be considered.

In addition, the heartbeat of meat rabbits is 80-90 beats per minute, and that of young rabbits is 100-150 beats per minute. Because the rabbits are timid, they will accelerate their beats during determination, which is of little significance to the diagnosis of diseases.

Therefore, while strengthening the daily feeding and management, we should often observe the health of rabbits, correctly identify healthy rabbits and diseased rabbits, find and treat them in time, so as to keep the incidence of rabbit disease to a minimum.
