Rabbits get syphilis from other rabbits: through breeding, or just through normal contact from living close together. Female rabbits can also pass it on to their kits.

Rabbit syphilis looks like crusty sores on the genitals. The first signs are reddening and swelling of the area, and then the scabs form. The scabs can also spread to the face because rabbits groom their genitals this way. The rabbit will be in a lot of pain and won't want to breed. He or she may show other signs of pain like gritting of the teeth, and general lethargy, depression, and reclusively. If it goes on long enough, the rabbit won't want to eat or drink anymore, and then he she will go into GI stasis and die a quick but very painful death.

Rabbit syphilis can be treated with antibiotics. Topical lotions might provide some pain relief but won't treat the illness. Some antibiotics are dangerous for rabbits, so make sure you find a vet who is experienced with rabbits in particular.

See the related questions and links below for more info and help.

Rabbit syphilis (also known as "vent disease") is not the same as human syphilis: the two diseases are caused by different (though similar) bacteria. Humans can't get syphilis from rabbits, and rabbits can't get syphilis from humans.
