Abstract
We encountered 4 rabbits with uterine hemorrhage and severe anemia (PCV≤19%). All rabbits showed depression with decrease or loss of appetite. Three rabbits presented severe hematuria, which was considered due to serious hemorrhage from the uterus, and received emergency ovariohysterectomy; they were found to suffer from uterine hyperplasia. The other rabbit without severe hemorrhage also received an emergency operation, and was found to have hydrometra accompanied by uterine torsion. Three rabbits survived, although one rabbit with hematuria died three days after operation. From these results, blood transfusion and oxygen supply was considered to be essential for effective treatment of anemic rabbits.
