PG - 333-6 AB - In a specified pathogen free (SPF) breeding colony of IIIVO/JU rabbits 8 cases of prolapsus vaginae occurred in 5 years. Clinically the animals were in shock. Haematocrits ranged from 9 to 15%. The prolapses started from the submucosal layer of the proximal part of the vestibulum vaginae. The prolapsed tissue consisted of over-expanded blood-sinuses. Between the sinuses signs of an inflammatory reaction were present. All 8 animals were in a period of increasing sexual activity when the prolapse developed. The 8 rabbits were closely related, indicating a possible hereditary defect. FAU - Van Herck, H AU - Van Herck H AD - Department of Veterinary Pathology, State University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
