Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Cotton is being Neutered today! U/Date Sad News

If he was he hasn't passed it on to any of my other Rabbits. He was in close proximity to quite a few when they went in the shed.


I assume all the other Rabbits are vaccinated though ?

Really without a PM it’s impossible to know what happened. For me personally I always opt for a PM in a sudden unexpected death to rule out RHD. Especially if there are numerous other Rabbits on the premises.These days even some vaccinated Rabbits are succumbing. I believe the third variant, RHD2k is now in the U.K. and none of the RHD Vaccines available in the U.K. cover RHD2k. In France they have tweaked the FILIVAC they use to cover RHD2k as the strain was formerly identified in France last year. IMO if it’s in France it’s here now as Breeders import via Calais.
