Myxomatosis prevention

Sadly last summer we put to sleep many much loved pet rabbits suffering from the deadly disease myxomatosis.

This is caused by a virus which is transmitted by biting insects. Myxomatosis causes puffy swellings around the head and ears. Infected rabbits usually die within twelve days.

Protect your rabbit from six weeks old by vaccination and boosters every six months.

If you are not sure if your rabbit is up to date, ring the surgery today.
