The weather is very hot, and the rabbit is trembling all over. It doesn't move on its stomach, nor does it eat or drink, and its whole body is soft.

Then see if it is heatstroke, which is the case in rabbits!

Symptoms of heatstroke

Oral cavity, nasal cavity, conjunctival congestion, flushing, elevated body temperature, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, irritability or listlessness ... these are relatively early symptoms.

The nose and mouth are all wet, drooling a lot, clenching teeth, breathing becomes heavy or difficult, the heartbeat is aggravated, the expression is painful, and the whole body is weak ... This is a serious disease. If first aid is not given at this time, Tutu may go into shock and coma. ...

Heatstroke first aid

As mentioned above, once this happens, it is unwise to immediately pick up the rabbit and run to the hospital at this moment. Parents must take urgent measures immediately!

Let me talk about the steps of first aid:

First, avoid excessive movements, move Tutu quickly and smoothly to a cool and ventilated place and put it on the cool floor. You can turn on the air conditioner, but don't let the rabbit get too close to the air outlet.

Second, apply a wet and cold towel to the rabbit (you can use more towels and put them in the freezer after wetting). You can stick frozen items such as milk in the refrigerator on the rabbit to help it cool down. If you are in a hurry, you can even get wet.

Third, apply ice cubes, cold towels, etc. To the rabbit's ears, ears and head.

Fourth, drop a few drops of human essential balm on the nose and forehead of the sick rabbit.

Fifth, bring some physiological saline (if not, cold water is ok).

Six, can give ten drops of water 2-3 drops, or 2-3 tablets, a small amount of warm water to take.

Seven, help the rabbit to dry the eyes, nose and mouth, wipe it clean and appease it.

After the rabbit is in remission, I suggest you pick up your wallet and take a taxi to the hospital. Don't worry about whether the doctor you are looking for knows rabbits very well, as long as he is a good pet doctor. I have always stressed that parents should choose doctors for rabbits in advance for later use.

On the way to the hospital, you should also pay attention to the gentleness and coolness of your movements. Put the rabbit's head flat, keep its neck straight, and keep the airway open.

Please see a doctor when you get to the hospital. Appropriate blood can be drawn from ear vein to reduce cerebral and pulmonary congestion, and glucose saline can be supplemented from ear vein at the same time.

Rabbits are afraid of heat, so you should take good care of them.
