Especially for you and your rabbit:  VHD2-Vaccination  in April

 

Vaccination against VHD2

A new strain of virus is still spreading across the country affecting rabbits. The virus is called RHD (Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease) or VHD (Viral Haemorrhagic Disease). We’ve been vaccinating against it for years. However, the virus has mutated to a new strain called VHD2 that now affects even rabbits who’ve previously been vaccinated.

​

This new strain can cause a range of signs including loss of appetite, weight loss, jaundice, fits and bleeding internally or from orifices. It can lead to death in up to 70% of rabbits affected,

Both indoor and outdoor rabbits are at risk as it can be spread by contact with infected rabbits and biting insects. It can be carried into the house on clothes, shoes, or the feet or fur of other pets

Nobivac, the traditional vaccine which rabbits in this country are given against RHD and myxomatosis, doesn’t protect against this new strain, so even rabbits who’ve been vaccinated each year are at risk.

However , There is  amn effective vaccine against this new and extremely contagious virus
