Rabbit
Viral Haemorrhagic Disease 1 and 2
The latest update on rabbit vaccination has recently
changed. Currently in the UK Nobivac Myxo-RHD is
the vaccine used to protect our rabbit pets against rabbit viral haemorrhagic
disease (RVHD) and myxomatosis.
However recently a
new strain has emerged in France RVHD2. Our normal vaccination does not provide
protection against this stain of the virus.
It can infect bunnies
from any age.
Currently we can obtain a special import license to import the
vaccine from France, and use this to vaccinate our rabbits. However this is a
waiting list for the stock currently.
The protocol is a
vaccine once a year in low risk rabbits and every 6 months in high risk
rabbits.
We need to leave at
least 2 weeks apart between the normal vaccinations and the new.
If you are concerned
about your rabbit vaccination please
speak to a member of the team to discuss your needs. 01823 240140
