Young Bun
My friend recently took on a Bun, she was due to go to rescue. Since the bun arrived all her animals have got ill. The vet believes the Rabbit is a carrier as she has never showed any signs of being infected.
Obviously this Rabbit cannot go to rescue or rehomed to another home without knowing if or if not she is a carrier. From our research the Guinea Pigs that have got the virus will now be carriers, so she will be unable to home anymore animals, due to this awful situation.
She sadly has already lost a Guinea Pig and one has been critically ill but is now on the mend, numerous others have been infected also.
She plans to have the Rabbit tested. She has asked the Vet if they can do it, and they said they put a swab up the rabbits nose then wait for it to culture. I am wondering how accurate this test is?
