Hi the vet reacons my babbie rabbit has it, so i have seperated her from her sister who was in the same hutch, if her sister does get how long will it take for the symptoms to come out like the sore eyes, and could it go over to the hutch i have next to it, thanks kerry
 
Your vet should have explained everything to you. Did you mention you had another bun? have they been jabbed?
you need to really scrub out hutches with disinfectant and get rid of all dirty bedding. Its usually passed via flea/isect bites and signs norm appear after 1 week some pics for you to look at so you know what to watch out for go to M http://www.hoppybunnyrabbit.com/h_o.html
if vaccinated the chances are good although they still look pretty bad!
 
You need to thoroughly wash hands and change clothes in between handling your Myxi bun and any other rabbits you have - Myxi can also be spread through direct contact of discharge from mucous membranes. Did the vet prescribe pain relief and antibiotics to prevent secondary infections? How about fluids and critical care/recovery syringe food? Has your baby bun been vaccinated before she contracted Myxi? Have your other buns been vaccinated recently? Are any showing symptoms? Do you have any mozzi protection? fly nets or blue light fly killers to reduce risk of biting insects transmitting the virus? Hope your baby bun pulls through. :(
 
Hi we have only just got the bunnies we have had them about a week so no jabs yet. She does not stop eating, tonight she has has a big cabbage leaf, carrot and half a bowl of pellets, she has no lumps and bumps just swollen eyes. she is having antibiotic eye cream and stuff to put on her mouth as well.
 
well she is still eating loads and jumping around, i have her in a rabbit cage inside the house at the moment been giving her medicine, eyes still swollen tho, could it just be conjuctavitsis.
