Mastitis is a common condition in rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) does, especially in rabbitries where mammae inflammations are the leading pathological expression of Staphylococcus aureus infections in reproductive females. It affects both the litter and the lactating female, including subsequent lactations. Non‐septic (i.e. galactostasis and cystic mastitis) and septic (i.e. Mastitis acuta ; including Mastitis gangrenosa ; and Mastitis chronica ) mammary inflammations are acknowledged; however, the literature is scarce regarding non‐septic inflammations or subclinical mastitis. Thus, the present systematic review highlights and summarizes the existing data concerning mastitis in rabbit does, including diagnosis and treatment plans.
