Myxomatosis Outbreak
27/09/2007 by Arielle.
This is a strong reminder to all rabbit owners and rabbit lovers out there that they MUST have their rabbits vaccinated against Myxomatosis. I had about 10 rabbits to vaccinate in one day this week as there is Myxomatosis about at the moment in most areas. It is an awful virus that is carried by midges. As we have had such a wet summer, there is an outbreak of midges that will settle on dying wild rabbits and then carry the virus to your pet rabbit. If you board rabbits as a pet sitter, ensure that they are vaccinated.
The vaccine is not 100% effective but it is the best we can do against such a fatal disease. See my article on Myxomatosis under rabbit health.
