Sorry, I tried to add this to the sticky threa but that wouldn't work so I've had to start a new thread
There has been a confirmed case of Myxomatosis in an unvaccinated pet rabbit in the Leicestershire area.
Please please make sure that your rabbits' vaccinations are up to date, and share this alert to make sure that other rabbit owners are aware. There was a VHD outbreak in Newcastle upon Tyne very recently too - both Myxi and VHD are out there and rabbits need to be vaccinated. Unvaccinated rabbits that catch either disease stand no hope of recovery.
The combined vaccine lasts 12 months.
