The mean presenting age was 56.2 months (SD 30.5). Neutered males (23\/40, 57.5%) were over\u2010represented. Common clinical signs and findings included reduced appetite (40\/40, 100%), lethargy (32\/40, 80.0%), reduced faecal production (16\/40, 40.0%), a doughy distended stomach (20\/40, 50.0%), pale mucous membranes (19\/40, 47.5%) and hypothermia (17\/40, 42.5%). Anaemia and elevated plasma alanine aminotransferase and blood urea nitrogen were common clinicopathologic findings. Computed tomography (CT) was performed in 34 of 40 rabbits, confirming the presence and position of LLT (34\/34, 100%), stenosis of the caudal vena cava or portal system (28\/34, 82.4%) and increased free peritoneal fluid (29\/34, 85.3%). Fifteen (15\/40, 37.5%) rabbits were medically managed, and surgical intervention was performed in 23 of 40 (57.5%) rabbits. Overall, 30 of 40 (75.0%) rabbits survived. Surgical intervention did not confer a significant difference in outcome compared to medical management (odds ratio 0.77, 95% confidence interval 0.15\u20104.10, p = 0.761).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CT can be an invaluable diagnostic modality for rabbit LLT.
