Haemorrhagic
Disease-2
(RHD-2)
Rabbit
Vaccinating your rabbits
is an essential part of
keeping them healthy and protecting against
disease. Historically we have vaccinated rabbits
against Myxomatosis and Rabbit Haemorrhagic
Disease (RHD).
I
n recent months a new
variant of RHD has emerged
in the UK, known as RHD-2. The
normal vaccine is unfortunately
not fully effective against
RHD-2 so extra vaccinations
have been developed.
As more cases of RHD2 are
being seen and awareness of
this new condition increases,
this article aims to debug
some of the rumours and
answer the most commonly
asked questions about RHD2
and protecting your rabbits.
