VHD and Myxi Outbreaks Warning- last updated:1.11.08

My daughter brought home a wild rabbit with full blown myxi. Thankfully she didnt bring it into the living room where mine are & I knew what it was straight away. Vet had to put the little to sleep.

Watford Herts
 
I've been reading on hear a lot about people going on about outbreaks, well i'm a Train Driver and see more wild life than most people and i'd just like to say that i see at least 5 Rabbits a day on the tracks with Myxomatosis, the main area being between Guildford and Redhill but saying that this area is littered in rabbits.
 
Myxi in Reading Berks

Not been on this site for a while, but just lost one of our three buns through Myxi. Just hoping the other 2 are okay.

Suggest that people keep a good close eye on their buns.


We live Reading, Berks.
 
Spoke today to a couple from the Leicester area and they had to have their 3rabbits pts yesterday because they'd contracted myxi.
 
Myxi is now in Wolverhampton! Areas Underhill, Featherstone, Bushbury and Wednesfielda are affected.

Hi just had Hotpot vaccinated against Myxi. Going to take him back on the 20th to have VHD because you have to wait 2 weeks.

Vet never said there were any outbreaks in my area Long Eaton.:)
 
My vet was telling me that the whole of the uk is 'high risk' for myxomatosis this year due to the flooding & weird weather.Everybun is at risk :(
