Papillomatosis is seen only rarely in rabbits but may be seen as pedunculated masses attached to the oral or rectal mucosa. Usually self-limiting, but excision and autogenous vaccine may be considered in recalcitrant cases.

Oral papillomatosis is caused by the rabbit oral papillomavirus and is quite easily transmissible (Percy and Barthold 1993; Okerman 1994). The rectal manifestation of papillomavirus infection appears to be commoner in the UK but is alleged not to be so easily transmitted Mackay R (2000). Both of these manifestations appear to be self-limiting.
