A pet rabbit has signs of an upper respiratory tract infection and is exhibiting a head tilt with occasional circling. The photograph above shows the ocular lesions observed in this patient.
Question | Answer | Article | |
What ocular lesions are present? | The ocular lesions visible are hypopyon, aqueous flare, anterior synechiae, iridal neovascularization and episcleral congestion.
|
Link to Article | |
What is the likely cause? | These are all signs of anterior uveitis.
Microbiologic culture of an aqueous tap was negative. Pasteurella multocida was cultured from a ventral bulla osteotomy. The ocular lesions probably arose from hematogenous spread of the organism. |

How would you treat this condition? | Treat this ocular condition with a combination of mydriasis with atropine, rigorous topical anti-inflammatory medication and systemic and topical antibiotics.
