Uveitis – Rabbit

Uveitis is usually considered to be bacterial and haematogenous in origin (Williams 2000); Pasteurella is usually the culprit. Treatment should include systemic antibiosis (oxytetracycline SC q 72hrs) and a mydriatic to reduce intraocular pain. The effect of pain on the gastrointestinal system may need to be addressed with the use of analgesics and prokinetics.
