Thanks for posting this. My buns are up to date with their innoculations but I'll make sure that all the bunnylovers I work with know about it. (It's amazing how many people in my office keep rabbits!)

Will it travel and will it travel fast i live down in bristol?

OMG I'm so glad Tills vaxd. Is there any extra precausions (sp?) i can take? Xx

kateco i live near manchester too, mine are due vaccinations in beginning august

i would try to keep their houses clean ie litter trays to help keep flies/mozzies away as these carry the disease
erm and make sure they have no contact with wild rabbits
the link provided above should have some more information

I think this goes for the whole of the north West, there have been alot of buns come down with Myxi in liverpool too

Its only £15 for the jab so it's worth getting it done.
Ive seen a Bunny with Myxi - awful !!
