Received a letter from my vets today (located in Nottingham city centre) stating that they have treated 4 rabbits with myxi in a 24 hour period.

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Yes, I'm afraid it does. Best get them vaccinated asap if they're not already done.

They are vaccinated, they are due for their 6 monthly booster this month!
Should i still be worried then?

Might be an idea to take them for the booster straight away, just in case.
I'm sure you know this, but... vaccinated rabbits can still get a milder form of myxi, so take precautions like putting fly screens or net curtains on the front of hutches and making sure you haven't got any standing water in your garden to attract mozzies.
Also, if you have other pets like cats and dogs, make sure their flea treament is up to date, cuz fleas from wild rabbits can jump on them and hitch a ride to yur rabbit

Thanks for that Amy
I will be phoning the vets first thing Monday. I don't have any standing water in the garden and i have fly screen on the outside hutch. I will check when the cats are due to be "Flea'ed" as they do like to "kiss" the buns through the run mesh .I am a bit scared now:shock:
