Hi,
There has been an outbreak of both Myxi and Calicivirus (VHD) near where I live over here.
My buns are all housebunnies, their litter trays are changed daily so as far as I'm aware I've done all I can to lower the risk of them catching Myxi as much as I possibly can.
Roger, Barney & Lucy are all vaccinated against VHD, but Lily is not as she is too young (4 mths). The vet says she's too young, the rabbit rescue assoc. over here says she isn't. What's the best thing to do? I think she should be vaccinated.
If I insist the vet does it and something happens to her I'll never forgive myself but if I don't vaccinate her yet and she gets VHD I'll never forgive myself for that either.
She's also a bit poorly at the moment but on the mend. She had a bit of gas poor baby but is now eating, drinking and pooing again normally.
Also, the place where I buy the buns food sells bunnies and is not very far from where Myxi has been seen. It's the only food and hay they've ever eaten, do I stop going there? I can't change their diet with no warning and I don't have enough here to do it gradually as I've only just found out about the outbreaks.
What to do??
