Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis, a rare eye condition, was diagnosed in two rabbits. Treatment with topical steroids and cyclosporine showed positive results, suggesting this condition should be considered in rabbits with keratitis.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Ophthalmology
Comparative Pathology

Background:

Eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is an inflammatory ocular disease.
This case report details EKC in two rabbits, a species not commonly reported with this condition.

Observation:

Ophthalmic findings included ocular discharge, dacryocystitis, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, corneal plaques, vascularization, and stromal infiltration.
Case 2 presented with ulcerative keratitis, while both cases showed characteristic ocular signs.

Findings:

Cytologic and histopathologic examinations, along with advanced imaging like CT scans, aided in diagnosis.
Eosinophilic keratoconjunctivitis was diagnosed in one rabbit and tentatively in another.
Treatment with topical steroids and cyclosporine proved effective, mirroring outcomes seen in feline EKC.

Implications:

Eosinophilic keratitis should be included in the differential diagnosis for rabbits presenting with keratitis.
This report expands the understanding of EKC in lagomorphs and highlights treatment similarities with other species.
