Microbiological investigation yields profuse growth of many organisms, usually Pasteurella multocida (Petersen-Jones and Carrington 1988), but Staphylococcus species and Streptococcus species, can also be frequently involved. Dacryocystitis can be due to an ascending infection from the nasal cavity via the nasolacrimal duct and is a constituent part of the syndrome of Pasteurella infection in rabbits (Whittaker 1989).

Microbiological investigation yields profuse growth of many organisms, usually ''Pasteurella multocida'' (Petersen-Jones and Carrington 1988), but ''Staphylococcus'' species and ''Streptococcus'' species, can also be frequently involved. Dacryocystitis can be due to an ascending infection from the nasal cavity via the nasolacrimal duct and is a constituent part of the syndrome of Pasteurella infection in rabbits (Whittaker 1989).

A survey conducted by Leo Laboratories in 1994 yielded:
