Image JPEG image Subtle macroscopic signs of RHD
Gross post-mortem signs are not always obvious in rabbits that died from RHD and this rabbit is an example. The liver is slightly enlarged and close inspection with a hand lens did show a mottled appearance. Histopathology showed characteristic hepatocellular necrosis and PCR testing confirmed the presence of RHDV2.

Image JPEG image Kidney
The kidney is frequently affected by RHD. Histologically, glomerular thrombosis is a feature of the disease in many cases. Macroscopic changes are often masked by congestion, so the kidney is dark red, which was the case in this rabbit that died from RHD. Manipulation of the image (shadow and highlight) has shown that changes were present.

Image C header Predator attack
This image shows the internal organs of a rabbit that was found dead. There is free blood in the abdomen. Although a diagnosis of RHD might be made, closer examination shows that the gross appearance of the liver is normal, and the haemorrhage originated from a puncture wound across the chest wall. The rabbit died from predator attack.
