Preventive Care

Nutritional Counseling
Affected rabbits develop a severe, overwhelming illness which is usually fatal. Early symptoms include swelling of the eyelids, loss of appetite, and fever. If you see any of these symptoms in your pet, make sure to isolate him from other rabbits and then call your veterinarian immediately.
Comprehensive Examination
The veterinarians and staff at Avian and Exotic Clinic of Monterey are ready to provide your pet with cutting edge veterinary medical care. From wellness exams and vaccines to advanced diagnostics and complex surgical procedures, your bird, rabbit, or reptile will receive high quality care at our hospital.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
The best way to prevent myxomatosis is to control external parasites such as mosquitoes, fleas, and mites. To this end, it is best to keep your pet indoors and to apply appropriate flea control as needed. If, however, your rabbit must remain outdoors, his hutch should be carefully enclosed with mosquito screens. Make sure that your rabbit is either indoors or behind mosquito netting during the highest mosquito activity time periods, dawn and dusk.
Pain Management
Gastrointestinal stasis is an important disease process that all rabbit owners should be aware of. If a rabbit stops producing feces, or his poop becomes small, dry and/or irregular, this can be an emergency. Those not familiar with rabbits may think the bunny is just constipated and wait days before getting help. But in fact gastrointestinal stasis is always a problem that requires medical attention, and the sooner the rabbit is brought to the veterinarian the better. Treatment for gastrointestinal stasis will depend on the severity of the stasis and the cause. A rabbit which has smaller droppings but is still eating small amounts of food may just need hand feeding and/or fluid injections. On the other hand, a rabbit which has a very painful abdomen and is not eating at all will need to be hospitalized. Rabbits with complete gastrointestinal stasis are treated with gastrointestinal stimulants, pain medication, fluids, assist feeding, and other indicated medications. Diagnostic tests such as x-rays and blood work may be warranted to determine the cause of the problem. Left untreated this disease process is often fatal. There are many problems that can cause a rabbit’s intestines to slow down or stop. Issues such as a sudden diet changes, being inactive or overweight, a concurrent illness, or a tooth problem can all lead to gastrointestinal stasis. Shedding rabbits may ingest large quantities of hair as they groom, which can cause an obstruction. Hair ingestion is particularly a problem in dense-coated breed such as a rex, or if rabbits lack appropriate fiber in their diet (i.e. hay). We have also seen rabbits who develop gastrointestinal stasis for no discernible reason.

Laboratory Services
Annual examinations are very important for birds. Regular check-ups will allow your veterinarian to identify and manage problems early on, before they become life-threatening. During the examination your veterinarian can screen your bird for changes in weight, abnormal posture or attitude, and breathing difficulties. An experienced avian veterinarian will also be able to note abnormalities in the feathers, skin, beak, eyes, ears, mouth, bones, muscles, abdomen, and vent. Depending on your bird’s age and history, and the results of the physical examination, your veterinarian may suggest that some additional testing be performed. We recommend that most birds receive preventative screening blood work and gram stains yearly.
