Background: Antiparasitic drug toxicosis is commonly described in dogs and cats, but reports on the management of antiparasitic drug toxicities in pet rabbits are scarce. Here, we describe the successful clinical management of two pet rabbits with fipronil toxicosis. Cases Description: The first...

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...

Background: Neurological signs, such as head tilt, torticollis, paralysis, and seizures, are common in rabbits. Differential diagnoses include two zoonotic infections caused by the microsporidial fungi Encephalitozoon cuniculi and the apicomplexan protozoa Toxoplasma gondii. Both infections are...

Background: Sodium chloride intoxication is commonly described in mammals, but there are no clinical reports of sodium chloride intoxication in a pet domestic rabbit. Case description: A pet domestic rabbit was presented for an acute onset of seizure-like activity, ataxia, vestibular-associated...

Background: Marijuana toxicity in pets has become more commonly reported due to increased exposure in the United States, however, it has not been previously reported in lagomorphs. Case description: A 3-month-old, male, intact mini rex rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was evaluated on an emergency...

The paper considers effects of the sodium salt of penicillin, on the bioelectric activity of the visual analyzer structures in rabbits. Penicillin was injected into the amygdale, and a focus was created in this structure. Modeling the epileptic focus in amygdale allows to detect the spread of...

Context: Methyl mercaptan (CH₃SH) is a colorless, toxic gas with potential for occupational exposure and used as a weapon of mass destruction. Inhalation at high concentrations can result in dyspnea, hypoventilation, seizures, and death. No specific methyl mercaptan antidote exists, highlighting a...

At the age of two years, a female rabbit was presented due to behavioural changes, acute anxiety, hyperaesthesia, disorientation, ataxia, loss of vision, phantom scratching, epileptic seizures and a severe nasal dermatitis; all of which progressed within the following twelve months. The in vivo...

Background: Studies on toad poison are relevant since they are considered a good source of toxins that act on different biological systems. Among the molecules found in the toad poison, it can be highlighted the cardiotonic heterosides, which have a known mechanism that inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase...

By measuring the content of Nitric Oxide and the Activity of Nitric Oxide synthase, this experiment was conducted to study the influence of lamotrigine and L-NNA on the change and investigate the mechanism of the action of NO on the cerebral hemorrhage and the protective effect of those two...
