Abstract
With the increase in the number of rabbits kept as pets, and longer life spans, together with the high expectations of owners regarding veterinary care, there are more reports of neoplastic disease in rabbits and its treatment. This chapter reviews the evidence, the types of neoplasia seen in rabbits, and their diagnosis and treatment.
