Good morning all
It's been a while since I posted on here but nice to see all the old faces/names.
Sadly my wonderful bun, Winter, who was approximately 11 years old was put to sleep yesterday after a period of losing weight, losing control of his bladder an then finally collapsing. I'm heartbroken but glad he is no longer deteriorating in front of me.
So this leave Summer and she will need a new husbun. Only I have been looking on the website of my local rescue and many of their buns cannot be rehomed with another rabbit as they have been 'exposed' to VHD. I am waiting on a response from the rescue and my rabbit savvy vet who actually is in the rescues vet but I am confused about this - can bunnies carry VHD? Does this put other bunnies at risk?
I thought VHD was a silent killer but not 100% sure how it's contracted.
Any thoughts or experience? Obviously I do not want to increase the risk to Summer but the poor bunnies have little hope of rehoming if this is misinformation.
Thanks guys
Shiv
