Prognostic indicators for survival in surgically managed small intestinal obstruction in pet rabbits: 141 presentations (2011-2021).

Objective: To determine prognostic relevance of various patient factors and intraoperative variables associated with surgical management of small intestinal obstruction in pet rabbits.

Animals: 114 pet rabbits with 141 presentations of small intestinal obstruction treated surgically between June 2011 and December 2021.

Methods: In a retrospective observational study design, medical records were reviewed for rabbits with small intestinal obstruction that had undergone surgical intervention.

Retrospective analysis of liver lobe torsion in pet rabbits: 40 cases (2016-2021).

Background: Liver lobe torsion (LLT) in rabbits can be under-recognised and potentially fatal. The clinical features of cases presented to an exotic animal veterinary service in Australia were retrospectively reviewed.

Method: Medical records of confirmed rabbit LLT cases between 2016 and 2021 were reviewed for signalment, clinical signs and findings, diagnostic imaging results, management strategies and outcomes.

Retrospective analysis of risk factors, clinical features, and prognostic indicators for urolithiasis in guinea pigs: 158 cases (2009-2019).

Objective: To investigate risk factors, clinical features, and prognostic indicators in guinea pigs with urolithiasis.

Animals: 158 guinea pigs with urolithiasis.

Procedures: Medical records of an exotics animal specialty service were searched, identifying guinea pigs with urolithiasis.
