Answer 2

Yes, rabbits can get many different types of diseases. I will list several diseases below with a short explanation.

Weepy eye- Symptoms include inflamed eyes and discharged eyes. This can lead to a bacterial infection.

Coccidiosis- most common disease in rabbits and can be difficult to get rid of. It affects the intestinal functioning in the rabbit.

Caked mammary glands- milk not sufficiently removed from breast during pregnancy.

Ear Mites- External parasite that can cause itching, spasms, and sometimes nerve damage.

There are many more diseases that rabbits can get. This is just a few of the common ones. I suggest researching if you have a specific issue you need answers to.
