Dental disease in companion rabbits under UK primary veterinary care: Frequency and risk factors.

Background: Some prior evidence has suggested that lop-eared rabbits and those with brachycephalic skull conformations have a higher dental disease risk. This retrospective cohort study reports the frequency and conformational risk factors for primary-care veterinary diagnosis with dental disease in companion rabbits in the UK.

Methods: Anonymised VetCompass clinical records were manually reviewed to confirm dental disease cases.
