G. Steinbach et J. Linek, A RABBIT WITH MULTIPLE FRACTURES - SECOND ARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM BY MALNUTRITION, Kleintierpraxis, 40(12), 1995, pp. 957-959
The case of a six year old rabbit is reported, that had had two humeru
s fractures and one femur fracture within 10 months. The surgical trea
tment is described. Based on the x-ray findings and due to the low cal
cium concentration in the diet, a secondary nutritional hyperparathyro
idism is suspected. The presently valid regulation for declaring pet f
oods are considered.
