As above - E, Cuniculi unless otherwise? I presume it is anterior and / or iridial in location?

yes in the last in practice - arrived by post last weekend .

Also if you think not in the lens think re bacteria - partic pasteurella

I use alot of systemic duphapenstrep injections - once daily at 0.04mls/kg {however we have had problems getting this for the last few months }

so we now use duphapen fort {300mg/ml} at 40mg/kg every 2 days sc in rabbits . NB these are off license.

Hope this helps

Thanks guys to everyone!!

The rabbit doesnt have any other sign though, and the lesion seems to be in the anterior chamber and not affecting the lens.

But again, it was very difficult to handle.

it is more likely the rabbit actually got EC in utero. see article in the vet record's In Practice

I haven't read this paper in the In Practice. Is it in the last issue?

And is there any good soul (italian way of saying, but it's good thing! ) who could send it to me via e-mail?

Thanks again!

I also think E.cuniculi. But I remember something about vessel remnants in eyes - would this fit? Is it in the lens, on the lens or in the anterior chamber? Does it cause a shadow on the retina? I think I'm better at bunnies than eyes though!

Definately think re E Cuniculi

If it is -[quote user="Gillian Mostyn"]

I'd agree - did it appear to involve the lens?
