1, mental state
When rabbits are healthy, they always keep a high degree of vigilance around them. Even if the noise around is very small, the rabbit can always hear it and raise its head and ears at the first time to better distinguish the surrounding environment. However, when rabbits are sick, they usually become listless and unresponsive. In this case, even if they hear special sounds or are frightened, they will become unresponsive and unwilling to move.
2, posture
When rabbits are healthy, their posture is natural, their movements are flexible and their behavior is agile. When they lie down, most of them show that their forelimbs are straight and their hind limbs are placed under their bodies to support most of their weight. Rabbits sleep and rest most of the time except eating. When the rabbit is sick, its posture becomes abnormal, slow and hunched.
3. Ears
The ears of healthy rabbits are all upright (except rabbits with drooping ears), and the inside of the ear shell is clean. If it is a white rabbit, its ears will be a little red. However, most of the diseased rabbits have drooping ears and dirt is deposited in the ear shell, while the white rabbits have dark ears, ranging from pink to red.
4. Eyes
Healthy rabbits have bright eyes, clean corners of eyes, no gum, and no tears for no reason. When rabbits are sick, their eyes are usually half open and half closed, their eyes become dull, their conjunctiva becomes red and swollen, and gums appear.
5. Skin
The skin of healthy rabbits should be firm and elastic without desquamation and scab. However, the skin of sick rabbits often lacks elasticity, and local skin has symptoms such as redness, swelling, scabbing or ulcer.
7. appetite
Healthy rabbits always have a strong appetite, especially before feeding. If they don't eat on time, they will make noise in the rabbit cage, and they will eat quickly if the owner feeds them late. Sick rabbits, on the other hand, are not interested in food and do not eat or eat very little.
8. Drinking water status
Healthy rabbits drink water normally and stably when their appetite is normal. However, the food intake of sick rabbits decreases, and the drinking water will also increase or decrease.
9, feces shape
The feces of healthy rabbits are generally round or oval, with uniform size and smooth surface. However, the feces of sick rabbits are often dry and hard, showing small particles or shapeless water samples, and have a bad smell.
The above is the state performance of rabbits when they are healthy. In most cases, rabbits get sick through many abnormal appearances, so pet owners should pay more attention to the appearance and behavior of rabbits, find the abnormalities of rabbits in time, and make timely diagnosis and treatment.
