Just have a question thats been playing on my mind.
If rabbits can only pick up the disease through breeding/kindling (giving birth) how long does it take for symptoms to show?
Dolly definitley didnt catch it from Marley who i had 18months before getting Dolly. I haf her vaccinated and spayed and so she had a number of health checks already. Neither the vet nor i noticed a problem until 2-3 weeks after her spey.
Does it take a while for symptoms to appear, its a question thats been running through my mind since she was treated in October last year. I feel really bad for not noticing as this must have been something that she got from her mother and she was 6-8 months when I noticed I feel so guilty, would it have been causing her discomfort that whole time? :shock:
After Dolly, i learned first hand why petshops arent good places to get pets. I cant imagine the conditions she was born into.
ETA: Ive also just read that its incurable, aparently antibiotics only clear up the outside and that the virus is still in their blood streams? :shock: ... though it has never reoccured with either of my 2...touch wood :?
