A bit of a mouthful...but wondering if anybody has had any experience of this disease at all?
It’s passed on from exposure to the faeces of a contaminated animal - usually birds, rodents or wildies. Common in guineas but pretty rare in domestic rabbits. It presents with fairly vague symptoms and often in the very latter stages of the illness (FHB has never diagnosed it in a living rabbit)
This is what we’re almost sure I lost my Rupert to a couple of weeks ago. Vets think it had been hanging around in his body for some time (id had him since October, they think he may have been infected before then)
If anyone has experienced it, please can you share any stories? I know I need to be meticulous over disinfecting the shed, run and buying new everything, but is there anything else I can do?
I used to think nothing of opening the door and letting them out to play on the grass, but now knowing this disease exists is yet another worry
