Here's why it's essential to seek veterinary care for your rabbit:
* Accurate Diagnosis: Only a vet can properly identify the cause of your rabbit's symptoms, as they may be due to Pasteurella or another illness.
* Effective Treatment: Pasteurella infections require specific antibiotics and treatment plans that a vet can prescribe.
* Prevention: A vet can advise on preventative measures to minimize the risk of Pasteurella infection and other health issues.
General signs of illness in rabbits include:
* Lethargy
* Loss of appetite
* Weight loss
* Discharge from the nose, eyes, or mouth
* Sneezing
* Difficulty breathing
* Abscesses
* Swelling of the lymph nodes
If you suspect your rabbit may be sick, please contact your veterinarian immediately.
Remember, your rabbit's health is a priority. Early intervention from a qualified professional can significantly improve their chances of recovery.
