If a bun recovers from myxi

Does that make it immune for the rest of its life?

I'm not suggesting that such buns shouldn't be vaccinated subsequently, I'm just curious really.
 
Hi Alison:wave:

One of our buns had myxi and recovered before we got her - her name was Sparkles and she was a New Zealand White - we always still got her vaccinated against myxi just in case:D
 
Hello Jay :wave: How's the lovely little Chloe doing? :love:

Harry had mild nodular myxi last year and I still get him vaccinated too, there's no way I'd risk it! I was just curious really as to whether having myxi does give them 'proper' natural immunity afterwards...a bit like you're not supposed to be able to get chickenpox twice.
 
AFAIK they are not immune for life and Hilda's late Floss had Nodular Myxi two years in a row despite 6 monthly vaccinations!! :shock:
