'''A pet rabbit is presented with oedematous swelling of the anogenital area.'''
<br />
<FlashCard questions="2">
|q1=What are your differential diagnoses?
|a1=
Differential diagnoses are
*Treponema cuniculi and
*myxomatosis virus infections. <br><br>
The former manifests as redness and oedema of the external genitalia, followed by vesicles and scabs. Lesions can also be found on the head, around the muzzle, from autoinoculation. <br><br>
Myxomatosis in rabbits causes swelling of the mucocutaneous junctions of the anogenital region, as well as swelling of the head, ears and eyelids. <br><br>
Anogenital swelling could also occur secondary to bacterial infection, such as Staphylococcus aureus.
|l1=
|q2=What further diagnostic tests would you perform?
|a2=
Diagnosis of rabbit syphilis involves identification of the organism by
*dark-field microscopy of scrapings,
*histology using silver dye, or serology. <br><br>
*Bacterial and fungal culture may also be indicated.
*Skin biopsies should be taken to differentiate between Treponema and myxomatosis infections in the absence of other clinical signs.
