Hello rabbits united forum users

I work for BBC Look North in Hull, East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire and we are filming with a vet tomorrow to highlight the growing numbers of myxi cases in our area.
I'm looking for someone who's rabbit has sadly contracted myxi who would be happy to be interviewed on camera about that experience. They would need to live in our patch and be available during the day tomorrow.

We are already interviewing Chris Dodd who set up a website after losing his pet rabbit and not being able to find out anything about the disease.

Hope you can help. Jane
 
I think you will find that myxi is pretty widespread across the country.

Do look on this site for more info and tell people there is info on myxi available on here.

When my bun got myxi it was in the form of nodular myxi as she had been vaccinated, and after a lengthy illness she did survive.(Unvaccinated buns don't usually survive myxomatosis).

Well done for highlighting the problem. Do please come back on here for more info if you need it and sincere sympathies to Chris Dodd on the loss of his rabbit. -Sue
 
I can't help I'm afraid but I think it's great that you're highlighting the problem as theres not enough awareness of it.

Is the vet not able to put you in touch with anyone suitable? My own vets mentioned that they had to put several rabbit to sleep last year because of myxi.

Best of luck finding someone
