Four years ago on June 14th 2005 one of my rabbits died and I didn't know why, I didn't get a pm done. The following two weeks were the most awful of my life and are two weeks I never want to repeat ever again.
I lost ten rabbits in total to VHD because I didn't vaccinate them. Meg, Holly, Toffee, Patch, Gus, April, Duff, Spot, Poppet and George. George, Gus and April were only 7 weeks old. (April and Duff are in my signature).
I have not started this thread because I want sympathy but because I want to make people who may not know or think that it's not that bad aware that VHD kills, you have no time, no second chances, it is the most awful thing and you just have to stand and watch whilst it takes life after life after life.
I don't know if anyone has ever experienced not being able to do something for there animals, you don't even have time to phone the vet and have them pts you just have to watch them die.
Please, if you have not had your rabbit vaccinated for VHD yet have it done now, this week, even tomorrow, believe me, finding £20 to pay for a vaccine is far better than loosing something you love dearly and especially in the way VHD takes rabbits.
