There are a number of illnesses and diseases that rabbits are susceptible to. Although not all of them are life threatening, it is still important that your rabbit receives the proper medical treatment. Unfortunately when it comes to your rabbit, you are the veterinarian. Most DVM's do not learn how to treat rabbits and other small pets. Occasionally you might find one that specializes, and when you do hold on to them tightly! They are worth every penny.

There are a few illnesses that are very common to rabbits though, and they are easily identified.

  1. Ear Mites - This one is exactly what it sounds like. Cats commonly get ear mites and so do rabbits. There are several things that can bring them on, but identifying them is the most important thing. Looking into your rabbits ear you will notice brown and yellow buildup. If your rabbit has this, it undoubtedly has ear mites. Another sign of this if your rabbit is shaking its head excessively. Treatment is easy. Often the same medicines used on other animals will work fine. Your local vet may be able to help you with this. One medication commonly used by rabbit breeders is VetRx.
  2. Snuffles - This is another common illness among rabbits. This is the rabbit's equivalent of the common cold. Unfortunately for rabbits, it is not quite as harmless as it is for humans. If the Snuffles are left alone, they will only get worse, turning into Pneumonia.

    This illness is easy to identify. Your rabbit will most likely start to sneeze. This is the number one sign. Your rabbit will have discharge from his nose. Treating this is important, and it is vital that it is done quickly before the illness progresses. This is best treated with a shot of antibiotics, which can be provided from a veterinarian. VetRx can also be used to treat this, if it is caught very early on....
