Abstract
A plethysmography apparatus for a rabbit includes a head portion, a neck restraint, and a body portion. The head portion includes a wall, a head cone configured to receive a head of a rabbit and accommodate nose-only inhalation, and a foot box configured to receive a front foot of the rabbit. The neck restraint includes a yoke defining an opening configured to receive and retain a neck of the rabbit and a seal configured to seal around the neck of the rabbit. A box extension can be inserted between the head portion and a body portion to more comfortably accommodate the ears of the rabbit. The body portion includes a housing formed of a side wall and an end wall that define a chamber configured to hold a body of the rabbit from neck to tail. The body portion is configured to sealably engage with the wall of the head portion at an end of the housing.
