Six entire male rabbits, between four and eight years old, were presented with a fluctuant scrotal and/or inguinal swelling resulting from inguinal herniation of the urinary bladder. Concurrent problems included urinary sediment (two rabbits), multiple uroliths (one rabbit) and testicular tumour (one rabbit). All rabbits underwent herniorrhaphy surgery. There was a successful outcome in four of the six cases.

“…Predisposing causes are not always obvious; however, conditions that cause increased intraabdominal pressure or straining should be investigated. In all cases a surgical approach has been employed in order to replace the bladder into the abdomen and to close the inguinal ring (Grunkemeyer and others 2010, Petritz and others 2012, Thas and Harcourt‐Brown 2013)…”

Background: Rabbits are popular pets and veterinary knowledge about this species has evolved greatly in the past 15 to 20 years. Rather than languishing in hutches, many rabbits are now house pets; consequently, changes in drinking and voiding habits are more easily noticed by owners. Perhaps unsurprisingly, urinary tract disease is a common reason for rabbits to be presented to veterinary practices. In a histological survey of rabbit kidneys, Hinton (1981) found that 32.7 per cent of unhealthy rabbits had renal lesions, and so did 25 per cent of healthy rabbits, demonstrating the renal disease is a significant disease in our pet rabbits. Aim of the article: This article provides practical information on diagnosing and treating urinary tract disease in this species.

There are some species-specific disease conditions and anatomic structures of the urinary tract, including the composition of uroliths, an open inguinal ring in male rabbits and rodents, a cloaca in sugar gliders, and the presence of a baculum. Hematuria is a common clinical sign for various urinary tract diseases. Therapy for most urinary tract diseases is based on procedures common to domestic species (dogs and cats).
