Abstract Background Domestic rabbit breeds vary substantially from the wild rabbit body type. However, little is known about how the conformation of pet rabbits influences their health. Methods Data were extracted from VetCompass anonymised clinical... Read More about Conformation-associated health in pet rabbits in the UK: A VetCompass cohort study.

Dental disease in companion rabbits under UK primary veterinary care: frequency and risk factors (2024)
Journal Article

Background-
Some prior evidence has suggested rabbits with lop ear and brachycephalic skull conformations have higher dental disease risk. This retrospective cohort study reports the frequency and conformational risk factors for primary-care veterin...
