Exotics Animal Medicine - Liver Lobe Torsion in Rabbits What is new in early diagnosis and man

Course Content

Liver lobe torsion (LLT) has been described in dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, ferrets, pigs, camels, Asian small-clawed otters and humans. LLT in rabbits was once considered a rare occurrence. But over the past ten years, 151 cases of LLT in pet rabbits have been described in the veterinary literature. LLT is now considered an underdiagnosed condition in rabbits.

  • What are the clinical signs of LLT in rabbits?
  • What diagnostic modalities help confirm LLT in rabbits?
  • What are the major clinicopathological factors associated with survival?
  • What clinical and diagnostic factors will help the clinical practitioner make an optimal therapeutic plan?

These questions and many more will be answered in the Live MEAVC Journal Club. Join us and be a part of an international vibrant scientific community.
