AFAIK in america you dont need vaccines. Your species of wild rabbit is different to ours (although there are some colonies of european rabbit near Washington if I remember rightly) they dont carry/cant get VHD or Myxi which is what we vaccinate for here. Along with this one (or both) vaccine is not approved (i think thats the right word) in america :wave:


*crosses fingers that she isnt talking a load of tosh*
 
maybe? I never owned a rabbit before so I am getting a tad confused because airlines willNOT allow any animal to fly without being health cert and vaccinated? or does that just apply with dogs and cats? :?
 
You will need to call the airline, I personally wouldnt want to fly my rabbits just to get vaccines :wave: It is something you need to really research, prehaps post on General Chat or Rabbit Chat and ask the advice of other american members :wave:
 
Nope, no vaccines needed for America. Theres not really myxi/VHD...somewhere near California and somewhere else there is, I think, but its extremely, extremely rare and there isn't any vaccinations in America anyway, so you couldnt vaccinate even if you wanted to. it would just be completely unnecessary.

Only cats, dogs, and ferrets need vaccs.

Not sure whether it would be good to fly with a rabbit though. Depends on the personality, but I wouldn't risk it. Could you get a sitter? ETA: Read that wrong, I thought you were wanting to fly to another state for vacation and bring the rabbit with you.
 
a sitter? no, I am on vacation. I live in Las vegas, Nevada but since I have alot of relationship issues and home issues I took a vacation out to see my mother and my uncle who I hadn't seen in years. They live in Idaho and although I wasn't looking for a new pet I got one and of course critters are for life and a special rabbit like Velv needs to be spoiled rotten so I cannot just dump the sweet lil girl.
I will go to rabbit chat and see what I can find. thank you!
