Thank you both. I'm so sad that there are so many buns with myxi just now :-(

Just a little update to say that Buttercup is still doing well. She has had a review with Molly who is pleased with her progress. She looks slightly worse in some ways - her eye is much better but her nose looks worse, but Molly said to expect that some of her skin may go very bare and exposed...

Thank you so much. So sorry to hear that you have had a case of RHD2, how heartbreaking. I've not been on RU much lately but I saw a thread of yours about having had some very poorly rabbits and I am so sorry to hear that. Thank you for explaining further about the RHD2. We don't have...

I'm not sure if we are a high risk area or not, but I think our vets when we had it in the summer didn't think here was a high risk area. Is there a way of finding out if you are in a high risk place?

Great thank you so much! :)

Thanks for all the clarification everyone. I used to be on RU a lot but since having relatively healthy bunnies (until now) and having our children I haven't been on as much and its surprising how much you start to lose some of your knowledge when you're not looking at it on a regular basis. So...

PS Have there been a lot of other vacc'd bunnies here having myxi?! How frightening.

Thank you both :D Its pretty frightening to think she's had myxi and that we've had it here without knowing. I will disinfect their kennel and run area too. Thanks for the recommendation of Virkon. We don't often go to sanctuaries, but yes they are both vaccinated against RHD2 thankfully (am...

Update: Buttercup has had her GA today and while under, Molly was able to have a good look at everything and Buttercup has no abscess nor tumour, instead she has myxi but the fact that she has remained relatively lively, still had her appetite and pooing etc, means the vaccination has worked...

Yes, my eldest is 3, nearly 4, and loves Buttercup. She went out to give her a treat when she got home. We will explain that Buttercup is poorly once we have a firmer idea of what is wrong with her, as she will likely ask lots of questions. Thanks. x

Thank you Jane, me too. :( I know the team there will do their best for her.

Thank you. I haven't really had a chance to talk properly with DH about it as the children have been around, and don't want to worry them, but it seems that in the vets experience what Buttercup has is more likely to be a tumour (speculation only at this point). She has some blood in her nasal...

Thanks for all the thoughts and vibes. She is at Manor Vets right now and I just got a message from DH to say that they are taking some blood tests but that she is booked in for a GA on Tuesday as the lump is either an abscess or a tumour :( If it is an abscess they will remove it and clean it...

Thank you Jane, our vet suspected she might not be there anymore but wasn't sure. Its good to know Molly Varga is there but unfortunately she isn't available this week so we are seeing another vet there who is an exotics specialist and apparently very good. So fingers crossed. Thank you for...

Thanks for all the lovely vibes, much appreciated. So DH took Buttercup to the vets, who was very thorough but aware of his limitations with the latest knowledge etc. He said her eye is presenting as a classic eye infection, so has given some injected antibiotics and oral antibiotics for us to...
