Abstract
Rabbits are becoming common as pets in Brazil, and veterinarians are seeing an increased demand for clinical treatment of their species. Reproductive diseases in rabbits are rarely described in veterinary literature, with few cases of dystocia and fetal death reported. We report a case of dystocia in a 75 days old rabbit presented with a history of purulent vaginal discharge and loss of appetite. Dystocia was diagnosed by physical and radiographic examination, and ovariohisterectomy was recommended. Accurate diagnosis, immediate intervention and adequate treatment resulted in good postoperative outcome.
