had a bunny bought in today who genitals are very swollen and scabby,:cry: is this the 1st signs of myxi, he was living with 2 other bunnies so im not sure if they,ve bn fighting the owners said they havnt been,i always thought it was the eyes that swelled first, ive isolated him and taken every precaution i can but im worried advice really appreciated
 
There are a few possiblities myxie being one of them although scabby genitals is less common, I am more suspicious of vent disease (rabbit syphillus) than myxie.

I would suggest getting them checked out by a vet in the morning so that appropriate treatment can be started.
 
I've had three buns with myxi, the first two weren't vaccinated so developed the worst strain of it, with them, swollens rear ends were the last sign (discovered the day they were pts :( r.i.p) In all three cases the first sign was swollen eyelids & runny eyes.Everything i have read has said that the first symptoms are usually the swollen,puffy eyes giving them that 'sleepy' look.Of course it doesn't mean your bun doesn't have myxi just because he hasn't got sore eyes, sorry i'm not being much help...i'd get him to the vet asap if i were you.Hope he's ok :(
