Facial nerve dysfunction, characterized by the loss of facial muscle movement, poses diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Facial disorders in rabbits can be caused by infectious, dental, traumatic, congenital, nutritional, respiratory, otitis, neoplastic, and idiopathic factors. Understanding the root causes of these disorders is essential for developing effective treatments. The treatment of facial nerve disorders in rabbits depends on the condition's etiology and severity. The concept of complementary medicine is the basis for facial nerve disorder treatment. These interventions include physical therapy, medication, acupuncture, dietary management, and behavioral management. We cannot manage the symptoms or enhance the animal's quality with a single method. For example, acupuncture for facial paralysis improves the symptoms, improves the neurology function, or relaxes the muscle spasm. Botulinum toxin therapy for the facial spasm. Or change the variety of food to support the quality of life.
