Abstract
Two domestic European rabbits were diagnosed with perivaginal vascular hamartomas. Only one rabbit exhibited clinical signs attributed to the vascular lesion. This rabbit presented laterally recumbent and in cardiovascular shock after a 3-day history of hematuria with blood clots. The other rabbit was euthanized for an unrelated condition. In both cases, perivaginal vascular hamartomas were identified at necropsy and confirmed by microscopic examination and use of immunohistochemistry. Vascular hamartoma of the vaginal and uterine tissue should be included in the differential diagnoses for hematuria in female rabbits.
