**3205. A one-year-old rabbit has a "pointed" nose - rabbit scabies cases 2013 - 2018

July 19, 2018

"Several rabbits are suffering from a new rabbit disease nowadays" the pet shop owner told me that a vet could not diagnose and treat these sick rabbits. "A couple had died after 2 months! Could it be viral diseases?"

 The owner had returned one such rabbit to her for disposal. She showed me the rabbit's nose which resembled a minaiture rhinocercos horn. "This is a case of rabbit scabies," I said. "The crusts accumulated to form a thick pointed nose. Look at the ear edges, paws and around the eyelids. There are crusts too. Can you see them?"

"Are you sure it is scabies?"
"Yes, I am 90% sure," I replied. "A skin scraping of the crusted skin will show the mites under the microscope."

She gave me the rabbit to be treated for free, saying,  "Don't return to me!"
The rabbit is confirmed scabies by skin scraping being positive for mites.
