(and i know ive prob spelt syphillis wrong! i always do!)
my question is about boo, the rabbit most of you know im getting. she had syphillis, was treated and recovered and has since been fine. i dont know a lot first hand about the disease except what little research ive found online. (i'll mention a vet at work had been treating another staff members rabbit for what seemed like yonks, i took one look, said thats syphillis, this is how you treat it. he said 'can you give me some sort of information on why you think this?' i gave him loads of bumph and then he had to come back to me rather embarrished and admit i was prob right! thats the only time ive seen it in person and the only time the vet has seen in in 15 years of being qualified!)
anyway, back to the topic...
i know the disease is spread through sexual contact/mating/breeding and born into litters from mother carriers. i know buns who've had it, it can reoccur during times of srtess. i have intentions to bond boo, obviously with bonding comes lots of humping! will this kind of contact with my male make him open to getting the disease? i had intentions to spey asap when she arrives, should i wait to see if the stress of the long travel sets it off in her again? i obviously want to bond boo but im not too keen on knowingly infecting my male, if this is the case? i am greatly looking forward to boo's imeneant arrival and this doesnt put me off giving her the best home i can provide for her, i just want to do whats best all round for all the buns!
could you guys offer a bit of suggestion?
