22.2
An approach to shock and/or collapse in the rabbit. Rabbits are usually presented in decompensatory/progressive shock rather than the initial compensatory stage seen in some other species. a It is difficult in rabbits to distinguish cardiogenic from hypovolaemic shock, other than more rapid deterioration; unless a primary myocardial dysfunction is known (e.g. from ECG information) or strongly suspected, assume and treat as hypovolaemic shock. b Impedance of the circulation by an intrinsic or extrinsic obstruction, pulmonary embolism, dissecting aneurysm, and pericardial tamponade all result in obstructive shock. © 2014 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
