    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.

oh my god!spoke to my neighbour and his rabbit has died from myxi!hes taken hois remaining rabbit to get vaccinated tonight.took thumper straight away and got his vaccinted.had to use my savings but his life is more important.just hope im not too late.whata re the chances of his othr rabbit surviving?shared same hutch?xx:cry:
 
As long as they didn't get bitten by the same Mozzy then they should be fine. Caramel shared with 2 others and they both got it and died. I then got her vaccinated and later on she contracted nodular myxi but this was a separate incident. Wishing all the bunsters well! x
 
thanks.i dont know if it matters but they were constantly mating.can it be caught be fluid contact or is it just by gettin bitten?hope all dont get it.esp my thumper.xxx
 
OMG hope they are all neutured... I think there is a small small chance that it can be contracted by fluid.... not sure about sexual fluid though :shock:
 
no they aint!!!!i have told them to get them neutered but fell on deaf ears.posted bout them before.hes abit of a drinker.x
 
Oh my god poor bunnies... any chance of calling the RSPCA... although calling a dead gnat might do more good :roll:

dont think they'd do much - not for not vaccinating as that is up to the owner, only if they werent being cared for properly as in no food etc

the incubation period for myxi is about 2 weeks I think so this bun probs had it 2 wks ago, jst keep an eye out for symptoms showing, fingers crossed for you I hope its all ok, ur bun will hav 2 b bitten by a flea carrying myxi which may or may not have come from next doors bun, if its on the go in ur area anyway there's no way of saying

Surely if they are being allowed to breed with no attempts to stop them, he is pretty soon going to be over populated and the RSPCA would pay attention then?
 
ahh sorry i didnt read right thought was just cuz they werent vaccinated, theyd probs call round and give him advice on neutering, unless buns were in a bad way
