Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease is a highly contagious and lethal virus affecting both wild and domestic rabbits.

Here is some updated information on the status of RHDV2 in the United States. It is still a reportable disease in the US and very important to vaccinate all domestic rabbits for this highly contagious and mostly fatal virus. Protect your rabbit once yearly after the initial series. Please message me with any questions to see if and why your rabbit could be at risk, even indoors. The vaccine is safe and effective.

Amendment to Our Recent Post on RHD Vaccination Recommendations 🐰💉

We’d like to provide clarification on our recent post regarding the US Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHD) vaccine by Medgene.

In our original post, we mentioned that Medgene updated the label to recommend vaccination every 6 months. This statement is not entirely accurate and has caused some confusion among veterinarians and rabbit owners. Here's what you need to know:
- Medgene’s label: The current label does not require a booster every 6 months. Instead, the label states that the vaccine has been shown to be effective for at least 6 months based on data from a duration of immunity (DOI) study.
- Booster schedule: Veterinarians are encouraged to use both Medgene's efficacy data and additional data, such as the serology response study conducted by Colorado State University, to make informed decisions about when to booster the vaccine. This study suggests that immunity lasts beyond 6 months, with sufficient levels seen up to a year post-vaccination.
- Clarification on label: There has not been an official label change on the vaccine. The label does not currently specify when booster vaccinations must occur after the initial series (two vaccines, 21 days apart), allowing veterinarians to use their discretion.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused and recommend rabbit owners consult with their veterinarians to determine the most appropriate vaccination schedule for their pets. 🐇

Thank you for your understanding!

This bunny is super cute and I was honored to recheck him today. Highly recommend!!!!

Guess who passed his vet exam with flying colors?

DIEGO!!

His broken jaw has healed well and he’s ready for adoption! It’s been so hard to keep him on pen-rest and soft food, but worth it to have him back to 100%.

He’s a bundle of energy and is happy to be able to explore and play again.
