“…48 The incidence of gastric trichobezoar has been investigated in at least 1 laboratory colony of New Zealand white rabbits and found to be as high as 3.2%. 49 Other authors report the mortality rate to be higher in long-haired rabbits (e.g., Angora rabbits), with trichobezoars accounting for almost 29% of mortalities. 50 After trichobezoars, GI tumors are the second most frequent cause of intestinal obstruction in rabbits.…”

Exotic small mammal medicine is a relatively new specialty area within veterinary medicine. Ferrets, rabbits, and rodents have long been used as animal models in human medical research investigations, resulting in a body of basic anatomic and physiologic information that can be used by veterinarians treating these species. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of veterinary articles that describe clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options of gastrointestinal (GI) disease as it affects exotic small mammals. Although there is little reference material relating to exotic small mammal GI disease, patients are commonly presented to veterinary hospitals with digestive tract disorders. This article provides the latest information available for GI disease in ferrets (Helicobacter mustelae gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], GI lymphoma, systemic coronavirus, coccidiosis, and liver disease), rabbits (GI motility disorders, liver lobe torsion, astrovirus, and coccidiosis), guinea pigs (gastric dilatation volvulus [GDV]), rats (Taenia taeniaeformis), and hamsters (Clostridium difficile). Both noninfectious diseases and emerging infectious diseases are reviewed as well as the most up-to-date diagnostics and treatment options.

“…Os coelhos têm o hábito de se lamber e ingerir os pelos. Entretanto, estes animais não têm capacidade de vomitá-los, o que se torna um problema quando a ingesta é alta e a dieta inadequada, pois estes podem atuar como corpos estranhos gástricos e levar à obstrução (Fukumura et al, 2012).…”

Com o crescente número de coelhos como animais de estimação, os chamados pets não convencionais são de extrema importância que o médico veterinário esteja a par das principais afecções desses animais, bem como o seu manejo alimentar e ambiental. Estase e obstrução gastrointestinal são algumas das principais doenças que afetam esse animal, caracterizadas pela diminuição ou ausência dos pellets fecais, anorexia, dor abdominal, desconforto à palpação, sendo consideradas emergenciais, requerendo rapidez no atendimento, no diagnostico diferencial, pois demonstram sinais iguais e tratamentos diferentes, e na terapia a ser instituída, podendo ser um desafio para o médico veterinário, pois tem o tratamento complexo e resposta terapêutica lenta. Esta revisão teve como objetivo abordar sobre a estase e a obstrução gastrointestinal em coelhos domésticos.
