Hello,
I am in a difficult position deciding whether or not to vaccinate Elsa due to her health problems (of course I know the vet is the one to really help me make this decision- we have discussed it but just wanted some clarification.) I'm v worried as I've seen myxi in the area.
If a vaccinated rabbit is bitten by a flea/mosquito carrying myxi will it definitely get the nodular form or is it only a proportion of vaccinated rabbits that do not build up full immunity?
I know the vaccine is essential in healthy rabbits but in an old less healthy rabbit is it worth taking the risk of vaccination side effects if myxi can still be contracted anyway?
So torn, just want to do the best thing.
