^†Four rabbits with bronchopneumonia also had lung abscessation; 4 had confirmed sepsis.

^§Eight of 10 cases of cellulitis were septic (myiasis or bacterial); GI inflammation was septic in 7/11 cases (5 with intralesional bacteria, 1 with Coccidia, 1 with Coccidia and Giardia.

^¶Two rabbits with renal failure also had pneumonia.

GI indicates gastrointestinal; URTD indicates upper respiratory tract disease.
