Having had a client of mine this week tell me that her vet only recommends Myxo once yearly, and having heard on several occasions from potential adopters that they were told that their rabbits wouldn't need vaccinations if they are houserabbits, I'd like to know please, what does your vets say?
For those who are maybe new to rabbits, Myxomatosis should be given every 6 months and VHD should be given yearly.
Even house rabbits need to be vaccinated - myxo is carried by biting insects and they do go indoors! VHD is spread by contact and can be passed on clothing, skin, feet etc. It is also passed by contact with other rabbits, insects or other hosts.
If you have a rabbit that is healthy enough, vaccinate please.
