Background: General anesthesia in rabbits is associated with higher morbidity and mortality relative to other mammalian species commonly anesthetized. Unique challenges related to endotracheal intubation (ETI) in rabbits contribute to this risk. Objective: To improve the safety of ETI in rabbits,...

Ear diseases are regularly diagnosed in pet rabbits. They can be painful and in severe cases lead to death. They can be caused among other things by trauma, parasites, bacterial infection and neoplasia. Lop-eared rabbits seem to be predisposed for bacterial otitis externa, dilation of the external...
