Rabbit Vaccinations

We offer two types of vaccination and we recommend both vaccines are given from 6weeks old. They are usually given 3 weeks apart. Then require yearly boosters.

Diseases we vaccinate against:

* Myxomatosis – A viral disease causing puffy fluid filled swellings around the head and face. The disease is usually fatal. Myxomatosis is spread by blood sucking insects such as fleas and mosquitoes. Wild rabbits can bring the disease into your garden.

*Viral Haemorrhagic Disease - This disease was first reported in the UK in 1992 and is highly contagious. Transmission can occur by direct contact with infected rabbits including wild rabbits or indirect contact via environmental contamination e.g urine or faeces from infected rabbits. The disease is usually fatal and house rabbits can be at risk due to the virus being carried in on footwear etc.
