My rabbit has been off colour for few weeks and bloods showed she was fighting a infection but not any outward signs, however last night this am swollen eyes,genitals snotty nose etc not eating drinking so straight to vets put on drip pain relief etc and vet has diagnosed nodular myxo. Said he has had a few cases recently all vaccinated with the new combi vaccine is this just a coincidence?
She has been an outdoor bun up until 3 months ago but has been inside since then I've been reading all the other posts recently on nodular myxo am just so panicky at minute as she went down hill in few hours really also other silly question will her insurance pay for this as its a preventable disease?
Many thanks
 
I have to make the decision in next couple of weeks whether to get the new or the old for mine this time, and im hearing alot of stories like yours :( im scared.
 
It's just seems so strange shes been outside with a high wild bunny population for last 3 years no problem with old vaccine I bring her inside get new vaccine and she gets nodular myxi probably totally unrelated but It has set me to wondering. Right now she's quite poorly
 
I really hope she gets better soon... I was wondering whether its because the new vaccine gives them a small dose of myxo.... so its catching them off guard kinda thing, I dunno, it just seems to be happening alot.

Sending vibes and hoping for a speedy recovery x
 
If she was up to date with her vaccinations then she should be covered by the insurance. When was she vaccinated?
 
She was vaccinated at the end of July and was all up to date before that so I assumed it was covered by insurance but i honestly didnt know just know her bill is quite expensive already
