Abstract

Mucoid enteropathy/epizootic rabbit enteropathy is a disease of domestic European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) that has been recognized for nearly 50 years but is still not well understood. Morbidity and mortality are high and can lead to large losses in domestic rabbit production facilities. Recently, the Colorado Wild Rabbit Foundation identified four cases with similar presentations in two species of cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus spp.) undergoing rehabilitation (2020–2022). Clinical signs, gross pathology, and histopathology findings were consistent with what has been described in domestic rabbits.
