This is deadly. There is no cure once the rabbit has exposure. There is only a vaccine, but it may not be in TN yet.

This disease can be transmitted by other animals, people, or from clothing that may have come in contact with the disease.

Please research this! Outside rabbits are at the highest risk, however, inside rabbits are still susceptible!

Don't mess with this! It's fatal in nearly 100% of the cases!

**UPDATE: We are beginning to compile a list of veterinarians who are approved to administer the RHDV2 vaccine. This list is voluntary and therefore not comprehensive. https://www.tn.gov/agriculture/businesses/animals/animal-health/rabbit-hemorrhagic-disease-virus-2/rhdv2-approved-vets.html

Rabbit Disease Confirmed in Tennessee

NASHVILLE – The State Veterinarian confirmed today that Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Type 2 (RHDV2) was detected in two domesticated rabbits in one East Tennessee location. There are no other rabbits on the premises and no other confirmed cases in other counties.

“This detection is an isolated incident with no known exposure to any other rabbits, domestic or wild,” State Veterinarian Dr. Samantha Beaty said. “RHDV2 is not transmissible to humans, but it is highly infectious and fatal to domestic rabbits. We want to remind rabbit owners that practicing good biosecurity is the best defense.”
