How do rabbits get syphilis?
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.

If you even slightly suspect that you have this disease, go to a doctor, clinic, or or public service organization to be checked. Syphilis is curable, especially in the early stages, using antibiotics. But if it is not treated, it can kill you. You will need to have a blood test to know for sure.The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration), secondary syphilis with a diffuse rash which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, latent syphilis with little to no symptoms, and tertiary syphilis with gummas, neurological, or cardiac symptoms. It has, however, been known as "the great imitator" due to its frequent atypical presentations. Diagnosis is usually via blood tests; however, the bacteria can also be detected using dark field microscopy.
Did syphilis have a known cure?
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact; it may also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis. The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration), secondary syphilis with a diffuse rash which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, latent syphilis with little to no symptoms, and tertiary syphilis with gummas, neurological, or cardiac symptoms. It has, however, been known as "the great imitator" due to its frequent atypical presentations. Diagnosis is usually via blood tests; however, the bacteria can also be visualized under a microscope. Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics, specifically the preferred intramuscular penicillin G (given intravenously for neurosyphilis), or else ceftriaxone, and in those who have a severe pencillin allergy, oral doxycycline or azithromycin.(Information taken from wikipedia)
