Rabbit hemorrhagic disease
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHD), also known as Viral Hemorrhagic Disease (VHD), is a highly infectious and lethal disease that affects rabbits. It is caused by the Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV), a calicivirus.
Overview
RHD is characterized by sudden death in rabbits, often with bloody froth at the mouth. The disease primarily affects adult rabbits and is less common in young rabbits. It is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with infected rabbits, or indirectly through contaminated food, water, or materials.
Symptoms
The symptoms of RHD can vary, but often include:
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy
- High fever
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
- Sudden death
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of RHD is typically made through a combination of clinical signs and laboratory testing. The most definitive test is a post-mortem examination, which can reveal characteristic changes in the liver and other organs.
Treatment
There is no specific treatment for RHD. Supportive care, including hydration and pain relief, can be provided to affected rabbits. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent the disease.
Prevention
Prevention of RHD involves good hygiene practices, including regular cleaning and disinfection of rabbit housing and equipment. Vaccination is also highly recommended.
