Objectives: To report clinical features, gross post mortem and histopathological findings from an investigation into sudden or unexpected death in rabbits that was undertaken during an outbreak of rabbit haemorrhagic disease. Materials and Methods: Using a standard protocol, veterinarians were...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of ultrasonography of the tympanic bullae (TB) in live, nonsedated rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). ANIMALS: 40 healthy rabbits undergoing TB ultrasonography without sedation between September 2021 and May 2022. PROCEDURES: For each rabbit, fur was clipped over...

Rectal prolapse is rarely reported in rabbits and it has been historically described in association with infectious conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Two adult pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were independently presented for rectal prolapse. The rabbits appeared healthy, with no medical ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical findings and short-term outcomes for rabbits with signs of gastrointestinal tract dysfunction or rabbit gastrointestinal syndrome (RGIS). ANIMALS 117 client-owned rabbits. PROCEDURES The electronic medical records database of a veterinary teaching hospital was...

To investigate the effect of platelet-rich fibrin membrane (PRFM) and concentrated growth factor membrane (CGFM) on the healing of corneal alkaline burns. 24 New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups equally. Alkaline burn was created in the cornea of each one of the rabbits in each group....

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on tendon healing in rabbits. A total of 30 adult healthy New Zealand rabbits were used for this study. The rabbits were randomly allocated into 3 groups containing an...

Objectives: To create awareness of single RHDV2 infections and cases of death despite immunisation with RHDV2-specific vaccine. Materials and Methods: Retrospective case series of four companion rabbits. Patient signalment, vaccination history, pathology and molecular examinations were obtained...

Background: As the quality of care received by pet rabbits improves, the age at death of these animals is expected to increase; however, reliable data on the age at death of pet rabbits is lacking. The present retrospective study aims to clarify the age at death and cause of death of pet rabbits....

Background: The term "rabbit gastrointestinal syndrome" (RGIS) refers to a decrease in peristaltic movements, which in some cases can progress to absolute inactivity of the digestive apparatus. This condition is mostly secondary to others that promote changes in gastrointestinal motility, such as...

Up to 11% of rabbit cases in clinical practice present with suspected neurological disease, necessitating a detailed neurological examination. However, neurological evaluations of rabbits are usually based on protocols developed for dogs, and fail to take into account the differences in reaction...
