The rabbit disease Epizootic Rabbit Enteropathy (ERE) causes weight loss and a swollen abdomen. This is caused by gas formation in the intestines, which is also audible as a bubbling sound in the abdominal area.
How to recognize fat belly disease:
Symptoms of Epizootic Rabbit Enteropathy include: listlessness, trembling, less eating, low body temperature, thirst, watery diarrhea with mucus. Since the condition is painful, affected animals may grind their teeth. Young rabbits between 6 and 8 weeks old are particularly affected. It is suspected that the intestinal bacterium Clostridium perfringens plays a role. Under certain circumstances, this appendix bacterium can suddenly start producing toxins. The toxin-producing variant is more commonly found in animals with ERE. The disease is often accompanied by other infections.
