I was wondering if my rabbits need to be Vaccinated? My mum says that they don't but I think they should be for Myxomatosis Viral Haemorrhagic Disease!

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

How often do I need to get them if I live around Hinckley because I heard it is different depending on were you live.
YES YES YES :wave:
Interestingly (and scarily) some vets don't say VHD jab is necessary & neither did the place I got my 2 from (they had it done within the first week i got them)
As Hoppit says, no question, think of the heartbreak and suffering if you didn't get it done and buns were unlucky enough to contract either. You'd never forgive yourself.

VHD is once a year. Myxomatosis varies as some places say a year, some day twice a year, however i think you will find everywhere recommends twice a year now, as its everywhere, i dont think once a year provides enough protection.

My vet recommends myxi once a year, and no VHD at all. But it really does vary in different places and different vets.
