An Uncommon Case in Domestic Rabbit (Oryctolagus Cuniculus): Mammary Neoplasm
Abstract
In this case report, fourteen month aged domestic rabbit housed in faculty was presented to the clinics with solid mass in thoracic mammary gland and abscess in the inguinal one. Unilateral mastectomy was performed after an antibiotic (Enrofloxacin) + anti-inflammatory (Meloxicam) + Tarantula Cubensis extract treatment regimen. Tissue samples were fixed in 10% formaldehyde for routine histopathological processing. Fixed tissue samples were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Mallory’s triple staining to show histopathology and examined under a light microscope. Fibroma was diagnosed after histopathological examination. After 6 months no recurrence was observed.
