==Salmonellosis==
 
{{unfinished}}
 
Salmonellosis is due to ''Salmonella typhimurium'' which has been recorded as manifesting a severe enteritis in baby rabbits. Clinical signs include depression, fever, +/- diarrhoea, abortion (Okerman 1994). Salmonellosis is a zoonosis.
 
 
 
==Pseudotuberculosis==
 
{{unfinished}}
 
(syn: rodentiosis)
 
Pseudotuberculosis is not just a condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Infection with ''Yersinia pseudotuberculosis'' as a result of direct or indirect contact with infected rodents or wild birds is encountered occasionally.  The provision of freshly gathered wild plants or unwashed vegetables must be considered as a source of infection.  Clinical signs include cachexia with an enlarged spleen being detected on abdominal palpation. Diagnosis is usually made on post-mortem examination, the organism being isolated from the typical lesions  -  necrotic foci in the lymphoid tissue of the spleen, caecum and ileo-caecal.  Treatment and prevention of spread of the infection to contact animals is by the use of oral fluoroquinolones. Further prevention is via rodent control.
 
 
 
==Synopsis of treatment for enterotoxaemia and bacterial enteritis==
 
{{unfinished}}
 
*Warmth up to 27°C
 
*Fluid therapy
 
**Hartmann’s is probably better than dextrose-containing fluids (Clostridial toxins “feed” on monosaccharides)
 
**intravenous or intraosseous.
 
**maintenance = 100ml/kg/day
 
*Analgesia
 
**buprenorphine
 
**butorphanol
 
**carprofen
 
*Cholestyramine resin  (Questran,  Bristol-Myers Pharmaceuticals) - rabbit must be well-hydrated because the same chain of events occur when ispaghula husk (psyllium) is given to rabbits (see anatomy and physiology of the digestive tract).
 
*Antibiotics are indicated if it is a true bacterial enteritis but should be avoided if ''Salmonbella'' sp. is isolated.
 
*Probiotics. ''Lactobacillus'' spp are claimed to attach to mucosa and compete with pathogenic bacteria.
 
*Transfaunation
 
**Caecotrophs collected from a healthy rabbit
 
**Elizabethan collars
 
**Fed whole to maintain the protective mucus coating
 
*Rabbits with diarrhoea should never be starved
 
**Ad lib hay and leafy greens. Dandelions, parsley, freshly pulled (not cut) grass and groundsel
 
**Assisted feeding – commercial high fibre products for herbivores are available (eg). Most rabbits will accept food orally may be necessary.
 
**Vitamin C may be of use in limiting the absorption of iota toxins and improving mucosal integrity
 
**Oxbow Critical care for herbivores,
 
**Supreme Recovery Diet via a syringe or nasogastric intubation
