Hi,
I thought it was a good idea if everyone could add all outbreak areas on one post to prevent them from being lost as they get pushed down.
Of course, first and foremost I'd like to highlight the importance EVERYONE should have their rabbits vaccianted whether or not they are in an affected area as sadly many of us know all too well how vunerable our bunnies are to these diseases and theres no guarantee that just because your area isn't listed that it isn't infected. Please see this link here and get them vaccinated ASAP if they haven't already done so this year: http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk/care/vaccination.asp

Sarah and buns xx
It was woodbridge area, and the wild buns are really suffering aswell
Mine are done routinely every 6 months.Hi, Myxi has wiped out huge numbers of the rabbit population in Shropshire, so much so that when I took my three for thier bunny MOT's the vet said it would be best to get them vaccinated every six months. Has anyone else been advised of this?
