Abstract
Rabbits are frequently presented to the veterinary clinic with signs of urogenital disease. This chapter aims to demonstrate how urogenital disease in rabbits can be investigated and managed by using the same approach as that used in other small animals. Relevant species differences, normal reference values and considerations are also covered.
