Hutch burn can sometimes be mistaken for treponematosis which forms lesions in the genital area. Treponematosis is caused by the bacteria Treponema paraluis cuniculi (T cuniculi) which is related to Treponema pallidum, the cause of syphilis in humans. However, treponematosis is not transferable to other animals including humans. This disease resembles hutch burn as it also forms sores in the genital and rectal area that can scab over. A veterinarian can perform tests to diagnose if a rabbit is suffering from treponematosis.
