当我们谈论兔子的健康时,鼻子和上呼吸道问题在悄然出现的问题列表中位居前列。几声喷嚏。鼻孔周围有一点结痂。然后,突然间,夜间呼吸声变得嘈杂。由于兔子是强制性鼻呼吸者,即使是轻微的阻塞也会影响食欲、精力和整体健康。这就是兔子鼻内镜检查的意义所在——一种对鼻腔和鼻窦进行微创观察的方法——改变了游戏规则。做得好,它将猜测转变为明确的计划。
Why endoscopy matters for rabbit respiratory health
内窥镜帮助我们快速完成三件事:查看问题所在、采样导致问题的原因,并且通常可以当场治疗轻微的阻塞。在实践中,当兔子持续打喷嚏时,当分泌物对一线治疗没有反应时,或者当影像学提示更深层的鼻窦疾病时,我会依赖它。多杀性巴氏杆菌仍然是鼻炎(“喷嚏”)的经典罪魁祸首,但它并不是唯一的原因,过度依赖单一假定原因会延误针对性治疗。权威参考资料还指出,巴氏杆菌病可以表现为鼻炎,甚至如果不加以控制,还可能传播到下呼吸道。

Common nasal conditions in rabbits (what we actually find)
In real cases, endoscopy often turns up five categories of problems:
- Rhinitis – 慢性鼻粘膜的刺激和感染;巴斯德氏菌是常见的,但并非唯一。Merck兽医手册I'm sorry, but it seems that the text you provided is empty. Please provide the text you would like me to translate.Rabbit.org FoundationIt seems that there is no text provided for translation. Please provide the text you would like me to translate.
- Sinusitis – 鼻窦炎,鼻窦内的炎症,有时是长期鼻炎的后遗症。
- Nasal tumors – 不常见,但内窥镜加活检可以提供快速诊断并指导转诊。
- Foreign bodies – Seeds, hay, or dust lodged in the turbinates—easy to miss without direct visualization.
- Dental-related disease – Overgrown maxillary tooth roots encroach on nasal structures; CT plus endoscopy bridges dentistry and airway care.
How nasal diseases progress in rabbits (newly added)
大多数棘手的案例并不是一开始就这样。兔子偶尔会打喷嚏;鼻子下的毛发会保持稍微潮湿。因为兔子会隐藏不适,主人们认为这只是季节性的问题或“只是灰尘”。与此同时,炎症会重塑脆弱的鼻腔组织,并引发继发感染。如果不加以处理,疾病会从鼻腔蔓延到鼻窦,在严重的情况下甚至会影响到肺部。这时,呼吸的努力增加,食欲下降,恢复的时间也会延长。要点是:小的迹象值得及早采取行动——这可以防止留下疤痕组织,从而导致问题反复出现。
Symptoms & early warning signs owners shouldn’t ignore
Use this quick table to translate signs into likely concerns and next steps:
What you see | What it may mean | What to do next |
Frequent sneezing | Irritated mucosa, early rhinitis | Book a rabbit nasal health check; 避免尘土飞扬的床上用品 |
cloudy nasal discharge | Bacterial or mixed infection | Ask about culture & sensitivity; consider imaging |
Noisy or open-mouth breathing | Partial obstruction; urgent | Same-day exam; oxygen and endoscopy as indicated |
Brown/green staining around nose/paws | Chronic discharge with grooming | 讨论内窥镜检查和靶向治疗 |
Practical note: many guardians first notice mats on the front paws from wiping the nose—classic for “snuffles.”

The diagnostic pathway that saves time (and suffering)
I prefer a stepwise, evidence-first approach:
- Physical exam – Assess airflow, facial symmetry, dental pain, and upper-airway noise.
- Imaging – Skull radiographs or CT clarify sinus involvement and dental roots; CT is best when planning intervention.DocsinnoventI'm sorry, but it seems that the text you provided is incomplete. Please provide the full text you would like me to translate.
- Nasal endoscopy – Direct visualization of mucosa, turbinates, and ostia; collect cytology/biopsy and do gentle flushing when needed.
- Microbiology – 从深部样本(内窥镜采集)进行培养和敏感性测试,以选择有效的抗生素,而不是“试错”。
- Dental evaluation – Don’t skip this in chronic cases; root pathology is easy to miss on exam alone.PMC)

The nasal endoscopy procedure (what actually happens)
Anesthesia & monitoring. Rabbit anesthesia carries higher risk than dogs or cats, mainly due to airway challenges and stress sensitivity. Good protocols, pre-oxygenation, and vigilant monitoring reduce that risk significantly. Universities and professional bodies advise no fasting for small herbivores and emphasize careful drug selection and ventilation monitoring.

Scope selection. Flexible scopes navigate delicate passages; rigid scopes deliver crisp images for precise biopsies. For tiny patients, semi-rigid endoscopes or fine Hopkins telescopes are often the sweet spot.

What we look for. 水肿、厚分泌物、肉芽肿、息肉或异物。如果我们发现阻塞性材料,我们通常会在同一会话中将其移除。如果组织看起来可疑,我们将进行针对性的活检。
What owners should expect. Done by an experienced team, the rabbit nasal endoscopy procedure is brief. Most patients go home the same day with anti-inflammatories, analgesia, and specific antibiotics if culture supports it.
治疗手册(基于范围显示的内容)
- Medication – 目标抗生素(培养指导)、抗炎药,有时使用雾化以减少粘液栓。权威参考文献重申了巴斯德氏菌在许多上呼吸道病例中的作用,但治疗应基于证据。PetMDI'm sorry, but it seems that the text you provided is empty. Please provide the text you would like me to translate.Merck兽医手册It seems that there is no text provided for translation. Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
- Nasal flushing – Gentle lavage to clear purulent material and improve airflow; often performed right after inspection.
- Foreign body removal – Retrieval with micro-forceps under direct vision.
- Surgical care – When imaging shows dental root issues or mass lesions; occasionally, rhinotomy is needed in advanced disease.PMC)
Post-endoscopy rabbit care that actually works
恢复通常是顺利的,当你掌握基本要素时:
- Food first. Once alert, offer fragrant greens and quality hay to restart gut motility.
- 空气质量。抛弃多尘的基材;保持房间通风但不透风。
- Observation. Note breathing effort, frequency of sneezes, and any change in discharge color.
- Comfort. Warm, quiet rest with low stress accelerates recovery.
Follow-up visits & long-term monitoring (newly added)
内窥镜解决了今天的问题;常规检查保护明天的健康。对于患有慢性鼻炎或反复发作的兔子鼻病,我在第一年安排每2-4个月复查一次,如果症状保持平静,则间隔时间延长。保持一个简单的家庭记录——日期、每天打喷嚏的次数、分泌物特征、食欲记录。这个日记将模糊的故事转化为清晰的数据,以便我们可以微调药物、调整环境控制,或仅在模式证明有必要时再计划进行另一次内窥镜检查。
Prevention: 小环境胜利,大健康收益
You can’t bubble-wrap a rabbit, but you can stack the odds in their favor:
- 低尘干草和床垫。如果您看到明显的灰尘云,请更换产品。
- Humidity and ventilation. Balanced airflow lowers irritants without chilling.
- Regular dental checks. Prevent the root-overgrowth pathway that feeds sinus disease.
- Annual wellness visits. A baseline exam makes subtle changes easier to spot early.
If you run a clinic, consider standardizing your airway protocol: a pre-visit questionnaire on home environment, hay type, and historical sneezing patterns shortens the road to a diagnosis.
Costs: what drives the bill (and how to plan)
典型的兔子鼻内镜检查费用因地理位置、影像选择以及是否进行冲洗/异物移除而异。预算应包括麻醉、影像学检查(X光与CT)、手术时间、药物以及如有必要的后续培养。我建议客户计划一个涵盖同一天影像学检查和内镜检查的套餐——减少麻醉事件,快速获得答案,更具性价比。

Owner checklist: what to do when sneezing won’t quit
- Record a one-minute breathing video in a quiet room.
- Note discharge character (clear/cloudy/colored) and frequency.
- Bring hay/bedding labels to your appointment.
- Ask about CT + endoscopy if symptoms persist after first-line therapy.
- 讨论兔子在内窥镜检查期间的安全麻醉和监测计划。可信的资源强调量身定制的药物选择、预氧合和仔细的通气监测以降低风险。兽医实践I'm sorry, but it seems that there is no text provided for translation. Please provide the text you would like me to translate.Merck Veterinary Manual)
What the evidence says (and how we use it)
- Pasteurella是常见的——但并不是全部故事。现代指导警告不要在没有培养的情况下假设每个病例都是Pasteurella。治疗你发现的,而不是你害怕的。Rabbit.org Foundation)
- Anesthesia risk is real and manageable. Updated rabbit anesthesia guidance stresses protocol tailoring and monitoring rather than blanket avoidance of procedures.兽医实践)
- Dental disease changes the airway map. CT plus endoscopy can reveal odontogenic abscesses that choke the nasopharynx—medical therapy alone won’t fix those.PMC)
Conclusion: protecting rabbit health starts with clear answers
你的兔子24/7通过鼻子呼吸——没有口呼吸的“备份”。这就是为什么持续的打喷嚏或顽固的分泌物值得一个系统的计划。通过成像来绘制问题,进行兔子的鼻内镜检查以确认和治疗,以及合理的家庭调整,大多数患者的情况都很好。如果你在决定下一步该做什么,首先要依靠数据,而不是猜测,并与一个将气道护理视为一门技艺而非一个复选框的团队合作。
