Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Apparently, yes, and it can be fatal. However, im still searching and the only way to spread it is via faecal matter.

So they should be okay? Unless they come into contact with infected human faeces?
So it would suggest.
So should I stop sharing a litter tray with my buns too?
It says theirs a vaccine for it? Should I ring my vets and see if they offer it? I'm really fearing the worst! Found more info it's spread by oral or nasle exposure! And faeces particles get everywhere
It never hurts to contact your vet about stuff like this, they may have heard of the outbreak at your siblings' school and could have some advice
Yh, apparently 5 people in her class have it! Mum spoke to someone who breeds rabbits and she just said extra hygiene measures and keep infected people away from the rabbits, just told my sister shes not allowed near them, she burst into tears praying I don't get it
Sorry you are going through this
what does the virus do to humans, sorry for asking but i never heard of it.
Hope your sister get's better soon and you don't get it x
Just read thatonce a rash has appeared the person is no longer contagious?
Second this!Phew good news
