Abstract :
We report the first case of spontaneous syndactyly reported in a pet rabbit. Syndactyly only caused an atypical gait in the rabbit.
The radiological study revealed bilateral 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones fused in its entire length preserving normal joint surfaces
resembling syndactyly type Ia. The cause of this congenital malformation was unknown.
