Fusobacterium necrophorum Infection: Schmorl’s Disease, Necrobacillosis
Rabbits may develop sporadic infection of the skin and subcutis, and rarely septicemia when infected with
F. necrophorum. Infection is essentially opportunistic, and takes advantage of moist dermatitis.
Dermatitis can occur in does with large dewlaps subjected to excessive moisture due to salivation. Other predisposing factors include panting associated with high environmental temperatures, as well as malocclusion. The inflammatory process in the subcutaneous tissue may progress to suppuration with ulceration of the overlying skin. Systemic infection, with embolic abscessation and necrosis of the jugular vein, lungs, and brain arising from acute inflammation and abscessation of the oropharyngeal region, has also been described as a rare entity in rabbits.Helicobacter spp. Infection
