Acute abdominal conditions in rabbits are often misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stasis, delaying critical intervention. This lecture focuses on the diagnostic workup and clinical differentiation of high-risk abdominal emergencies, including appendicitis, gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), liver lobe torsion, and intestinal obstruction. Attendees will learn how to interpret key imaging findings, recognize specific clinical signs, and utilize targeted diagnostics such as CBC/chemistry, and abdominal palpation. Surgical decision-making will be discussed for each condition, with emphasis on timing, prognostic indicators, and intraoperative considerations. This session is designed to enhance diagnostic confidence and provide practical tools for managing rabbits with life-threatening abdominal pathology.
