Megacolon syndrome is a relatively common condition of rabbits.
Clinically affected rabbits present with frequent bouts of gut stasis, increased appetite and abnormal faecal production. Such cases are often not identified as megacolon syndrome and can leave clinicians and owners feeling frustrated. Dr Nadene will cover megacolon syndrome, what it is, how to diagnose and manage such cases in general practice.
