Infections may progress to nearby joints where it can cause swelling and arthritis."Pasteurella" spp. are generally susceptible to
chloramphenicol , thepenicillin s, andtetracycline .In rabbits
"P. multocida" is also known cause of morbidity and mortality in rabbits, and the predominant syndrome is upper respiratory disease. "P. multocida" can be endemic among rabbit colonies and is often transmitted through nasal secretions. "P. multocida" can survive several days in water or moist areas.
