Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Comparative Pathology
  • Rabbit Health

Background:

  • Uterine disorders are a significant health concern in rabbits.
  • Retrospective studies are essential for understanding disease prevalence in pet populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the most common uterine disorders in a cohort of rabbits.
  • To correlate clinical signs and diagnostic findings with histological diagnoses.
  • To determine the mean age of rabbits affected by specific uterine pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 59 rabbit medical records.
  • Clinical examination, ultrasonography, and radiography were utilized.
  • Histopathological examination of genital tracts was performed.

Main Results:

  • Endometrial hyperplasia (24/59) and adenocarcinoma (18/59) were the most frequent uterine disorders.
  • Concurrent endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma were observed in 11 rabbits.
  • Mean age for endometrial hyperplasia was 4.5 years; for adenocarcinoma, it was 6.1 years.

Conclusions:

  • Endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma are prevalent uterine diseases in rabbits.
  • Ovariohysterectomy is a common treatment, while some rabbits require euthanasia due to advanced disease or unrelated poor health.
  • Concurrent mammary gland adenocarcinoma and uterine disorders were noted, highlighting the importance of thorough examination.
