The The

arch the SEMI-ARCH The BRC (British Rabbit Council) refers to this shape as 'Mandolin' because of the similarity of shape to a Mandolin placed face down on a table. Usually these breeds have a longer body length than most and most of the really giant rabbits fall in this category.

When sat, feet flat on a table, they show a distinct arch starting just behind the shoulders and rising over the large loin and hindquarters, carrying down to the base of the tail.

Semi-Arch rabbit breeds include:

• American - pichtred on the left • Beveren • British Giant • Continental Giant • English Lop • Flemish Giant • Giant Chinchilla • Golden Glavcot

COMMERCIAL These types of rabbits have a medium body length and the shape of half a pear when viewed from the side. The top-line of the rabbit rises directly from behind the ears and over to a well filled shoulder and rib section, with the highest point over the hips.

This type of rabbit is mainly bred as a good source of meat as they gain weight quickly and can be 'harvested' from as little as 8 weeks of age. (As a veggie, this sounds awful. But hey, hundreds of years ago, if food was scarce, rabbit on the table for tea was a great treat. I personally think it's like eating your pet dog, but of course they did that too!)

There are other rabbit breeds that have a commercial body type, but are described this way just to mean well-muscled and 'meaty', like the Rex Rabbit and the French Lop for instance, that weren't bred for meat but they could have a dual purpose.

CYLINDRICAL Cylindrical types ofrabbits have only one representative in the ARBA breeds standards. However, there is another recognized by the BRC.

Cylindrical shaped rabbits are to show a straight top line with no arch or rise and the profile of the side ofthe rabbit is to display no taper at all. The front feet are to be even with the eyes when the body ofthe rabbit is stretched out with forelegs and hocks flat on the table.

Cylindrical types ofrabbit include:

• Himalayan - picturedon the left • Vienna (Coloured) • Vienna (White)

pododermatitis.

spirochetosis: See rabbit syphilis.

spondylosis: A disease in which the vertebrae in the spine fuse together, decreasing flexibility and causing pain. The results can range from difficulty in jumping and running to an inability to move. This affliction is more common in rabbits that are over four years old, particularly females.

stroke: Brain trauma caused by a ruptured blood vessel or an obstruction of blood flow through a blood vessel In the brain. Effects of a stroke can range from mild muscle weakness in the face or legs to sudden death. Paralysis of one or both sides of the body Is a common result of a severe stroke.

torticollis: See wry neck.

trichobezoars: See hair balls.

Tyzzer's disease: A disease caused by a bacteria Infection and characterized by sudden, profuse, watery diarrhea. Symptoms can include anorexia and dehydration. Generally, the onset of the disease is rapid, resulting in death. Tyzzer's disease is highly contagious and can be spread between species of animals through ingestion of the bacterial spores from excrement. The spores can remain viable for up to a year outside of a host's body in bedding, soiled food, or soil.

urine burn: See urine scald.

urinary stones: Stones that form in a rabbit's bladder or urinary tract. Urinary stones cause problems ranging from pain or difficulty while urinating to blockage of urine. In some cases, the rabbit will pass urinary stones. Symptoms of urinary stones can include loss of appetite, straining to urine, hard abdomen, and a reluctance to move from a hunched-up position. The stones, also called "calci," are formed of sand or crystals and range in size from tiny (the size of a grain of sand) to large (more than an inch). It is thought that urinary stones can be the result of a high calcium diet, urinary infection, or difficulty emptying the bladder, due to physical Impairment or habit on the rabbit's part. Also called bladder stones or calculi.

urine scald: A condition where an area of a rabbit's skin becomes irritated by repeated exposure to urine. Often, the fur will fall out in that area. Urine scald usually occurs on the hindquarters and genital area of a rabbit and tends to happen most frequently in crippled or old rabbits that have trouble positioning themselves away from their urine flow. Sometimes urine scald is indicative of kidney disease. Also called urine burn.

uterine cancer: One of the most commonly occurring forms of cancer in rabbits. It generally strikes does older than two who have not been spayed or who have not given birth, although does who have been mothers can also develep uterine cancer. Symptoms can include what appears to be bloody urine but is actually bleeding from the vulva, reduced litters, stillborn births, reabsorption of fetuses, and abortion.

vent disease: See rabbit syphilis. http://www.rabbitweb.net/health-problems.asp I 0/18/2013 Health Problems in Rabbits Page ~-of8

vent infection: An infection on the "vent" region of the genitals. Generally, the infection takes the form of small pustules, which can burst and scab over. It Is thought that vent Infection Is caused by dirt on the vent region on a rabbit or by urine dribbles that are not cleaned off. The infection can be passed between mating rabbits. While similar In appearance to rabbit syphilis, vent infection Is not a venereal disease. Also called hutch burn.

VHD: Short for Viral Hemorrhagic Disease of Rabbits. An infectious viral disease that attacks the internal organs of domesticated rabbits, particularly the liyer. Most rabbits Infected by VHD typically die within the following 24 hours, due to massive hemorrhaging of one or more Internal organs. Symptoms Include fever, loss of appetite, congestion, foamy discharge from the nostrils, lethargy, muscle spasms, and bleeding from one or more orifices. However, In some cases no symptoms are evident until death. VHD Is also called Rabbit Calcivlrus Disease (RCD) after the calcivlrus, which Is thought to cause the disease. VHD Is prevalent In Australia, New Zealand, China, and many European countries, such as England, Spain, and Italy, but has had a limited presence In the United States. \" 1 walking dandruff: See mange.

warbles: The larvae of the Cuterebra fly, or botfly, which burrows Into a rabbit's flesh. The adult botfly lays Its eggs on hosts like rabbits. The larvae burrow into the skin, where they'll stay, feeding on the rabbit's flesh, until they develop Into flying Insects. These parasites cause what looks like an abscess on the rabbit's skin, except that "abscess" has a small hole that functions as an air vent for the larvae. If Injured, the larvae excrete a toxic solution that can prove fatal to rabbits. Also called bots.

wool block: See hair balls.

worms: See pinworms.

wry neck: A condition in which the rabbit's head tilts to one side while the chin tilts to the other. One cause of wry neck is ear Infection, sometimes caused by e. cunlcull or Pasteurellosls. Another cause Is trauma to the head, causing damage to the Inner ear. Tumors In the head and stroke can also cause the head to tilt. Also called torticollls.
