desperateadvice on myxi needed

Hi, this is my first post so i dont know if the subjects been covered,

i have 2 rabbits-Junior, a british giant who is an 8 month neutered male and lives in the house
and Magic, a 5 month old lop who currently lives in the 8x6 shed+attached run as Junior has not long been neutered so didnt want to risk babies.

i have just returned from several days in hospital and have been pretty much bed ridden since coming home. a neighbour was looking after magic whilst Junior was looked after by my hubby in between hospital visits and caring for our daughter.
Anyway, i ventured out to see Magic this morning and was completely horrified to see she has full blown myxi symptoms-i am heartbroken and so scared. i was assured when i bought her that she had had her jab in july but she still has it. i didnt touch her or go in the shed but i am still worried that Junior may catch it-what can i do to stop this? he had his vaccinations in august. i have to wait til 5.30 for magic to go to the vet but in the meantime i dont know what to do.....
PLEASE HELP
 
I am sorry to hear this :cry:

If Magic was vaccinated in the last 6 months then she has a fighting chance of getting through this.

Another member on here 'parsnipbun' is currently caring for one of her Rabbits who has Myxomatosis. I am sure she will post on here if she sees this thread.
Or you could PM her for some advice.

As far as Junior is concerned then he is obviously up-to-date with his vaccination. I would also Flea treat him and any other Pets you have.

Here is parsnipbun's thread :

Good luck at the Vets
 
Definately read Parsnip Buns thread.

If your rabbits are seperate make sure you wash yourself and change clothes between handling them and/or always try to handle the healthy bun first.
 
Hi thanks for the advice. Magic has now crossed over and l cant stop crying.
By the time my husband got her to the vets she was really struggling to breath through her mouth so he had to say goodbye for me
