Are rabbit vaccines really necessary?
ABSOLUTELY! and here's why:
Rabbits need vaccinations to protect against myxomatosis, Rabbit (Viral) Haemorrhagic Disease (R(V)HD) and a new strain of R(V)HD - R(V)HD2 - all of which are often fatal.
Signs of RHD/RHD2: Most of the time, this is commonly associated with SUDDEN DEATH. However some signs include high fever/internal bleeding/liver disease
Signs of Myxomatosis: It can take up to 14 days for symptoms to appear. Early symptoms include - puffy swellings around the face, ears and or eyes which can cause blindness. The swellings can also affect the a**s and or ge****ls. This can progress to difficulty eating/drinking
Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for these fatal diseases (recovery is rare), and so vaccinations really are essential!
