Myxomatosis warning!

[farthing]

just thought i'd post a warning for all the rabbit owners.
we have had an outbreak of myxomatosis, it seems to be an very aggressive strain, i am also on a rabbit forum and there are new reports of rabbits catching it on there every day.
so, if you have a rabbit please get it vaccinated, if you are in a high risk area they should be vaccinated 6 monthly. remember, it isn't only spread by direct contact, it is also passed by fleas, mites, lice and midges.

We have had a few cases at the practice recently-one of which was an indoor bunny :(

All mine are vaccinated.. the last one today as she was not done at the rescue.... I know the vaccine is not working properly until 14 days so still rather worried she is not as protected as she could be..

Angel and buscuit have not been done yet but as i am going on wednesday anyway i will take them then to have it done. Thanks for your warning. It doesnt cost that much either.
