Diseases of Cage Mammals Here we describe various cage mammal diseases (rabbit diseases, guinea pig diseases, gerbil diseases, hamster diseases, chinchilla diseases, rat diseases, mouse diseases), with reference to acupuncture, herbal treatment, homeopathic treatment, chiropractic manipulation etc., where appropriate. We invite and accept referrals for complementary and alternative medicine treatments. return to cage mammal main page: Cage Mammals
ABSCESSES (RABBITS)This is a condition peculiar to rabbits, in which a succession of ‘cold’ abscesses can appear over a period. The disease seems to be totally non-responsive to antibiotics. The abscesses proliferate and can invade even the bones of the face and jaw. The ultimate course of the disease leads to death, if not halted. We have seen cases for homeopathic treatment, which have survived the condition. We use constitutional prescribing and a special pasteurella nosode, which we made here and with which we have been particularly satisfied in other species too. The AVMC can supply more information on request. Copyright © AVMC August 2002

MIDDLE OR INNER EAR DISEASERabbits are particularly susceptible to this problem. They can be presented for ‘fits’, whereas they are simply rolling along the ground in a vain attempt to right themselves, having lost all sense of balance. We use aromatherapy in the ear canal, constitutional homeopathic prescribing and a pasteurella nosode. We have witnessed good results from this régime, which can often be very refractory to antibiotic therapy. The AVMC can supply more information on request. Copyright © AVMC August 2002
PASTEURELLOSISThis problem is particularly prevalent in rabbits, especially in the overcrowded conditions of commercial rabbit units. The conventional outlook is pessimistic. Other species can develop diseases due to this infection, but not as commonly as it is seen in rabbits. Homeopathic constitutional prescribing and prescriptions based on signs/symptoms can be very helpful. The nosode that we made here, for pasteurellosis in another species, has been especially helpful in the cases we have seen at the Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre. Conditions that can arise from pasteurella infection, which is particularly non-responsive even to powerful antibiotics, are pneumonia, middle ear infection and multiple abscesses. The AVMC can supply more information on request. Copyright © AVMC August 2002
