Gastric hairballs in a colony of mature laboratory rabbits were associated with chronic, partial, or complete gastric obstruction and inanition. Clinical signs included anorexia, decreased fecal output, weight loss, and depression. The differentiation of anorexia induced by hairballs, stress, and other causes presented a diagnostic dilemma. Radiographs could not be relied upon to differentiate gastric hairballs from normal gastric contents. Combined medical and surgical management optimized successful recovery. Supportive therapy was given 12 to 24 hours before surgical removal of the hairball and was continued postoperatively for 72 hours.
一群成年实验兔出现胃毛球，与慢性、部分或完全性胃梗阻及营养不良有关。临床症状包括厌食、粪便排出量减少、体重减轻和精神沉郁。由毛球、应激及其他原因引起的厌食鉴别诊断存在困难。不能依靠X线片来区分胃毛球与正常胃内容物。药物和手术联合治疗可提高成功康复几率。在手术取出毛球前12至24小时给予支持性治疗，并在术后持续72小时。
