Common Health Issues in Rabbits

Rabbits are sensitive creatures prone to various health problems, so it’s important to recognize the early signs of illness for prompt treatment. Vets recommend being aware of a rabbit’s changes in appetite, lethargy, or unusual behaviors. Additionally, keep an eye out for these common conditions:

Dental Problems

Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, which is also why they’re prone to dental problems such as malocclusion (misalignment of teeth) or overgrown teeth. Without proper vet treatment, these issues can cause pain, difficulty eating, and even abscesses. 

Digestive Issues

Gastrointestinal stasis (GI stasis) is a serious condition in rabbits where the digestive system slows down or stops, and this can lead to bloating, gas build-up, and even life-threatening complications. So, if you notice reduced appetite, decreased fecal output, or lethargy, bring your rabbit to a vet.

Respiratory Infections

Respiratory infections in rabbits often manifest as sneezing, nasal discharge, labored breathing, or eye discharge. Take your pet to a vet as soon as you notice these symptoms to avoid complications.

Uterine Cancer

Unspayed female rabbits have a high risk of developing uterine cancer. Vets recommend spaying your female rabbit to reduce this risk and help prevent other reproductive health issues.

Parasites and Skin Issues

Rabbits can be affected by external parasites like mites and fleas, as well as internal parasites like worms. Skin issues, such as fungal infections, can also occur. If you notice excessive scratching, hair loss, or skin lesions on your rabbit, take them to a vet for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Preventive Care and Proper Diet for Rabbits

Preventive care is essential for keeping your rabbit healthy and happy, and annual wellness exams with a rabbit vet are crucial for the early detection of health issues and to ensure your bunny is thriving. At the same time, we recommend the following care guidelines for your rabbit’s well-being:

  • Hay: Hay should make up the majority of your rabbit’s diet, especially since it provides essential fiber for digestion and helps wear down their continuously growing teeth.
  • Fresh Greens: Offer a variety of fresh, leafy greens daily to provide vitamins and minerals.
  • Limited Pellets: Pellets should only be a small part of the diet, providing supplemental nutrients.
  • Avoid Sugary Treats: Sugary treats, such as fruits and processed snacks, can lead to obesity and other health problems for your rabbit.
  • Housing and Enrichment: Provide a spacious enclosure with plenty of room for your rabbit to move around while ensuring access to fresh water at all times. Also, offer your rabbit a variety of toys and enrichment activities to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated.
