Rabbits are very sensitive animals. It is therefore very important to contact us immediately in case of symptoms of illness. Below we have described some dangerous rabbit diseases. Fortunately, rabbits can be vaccinated against most diseases.

Symptoms Myxomatosis

Swelling of the eyelids, ears, mouth and anus. Often the eyes become inflamed and pussy. At a later stage, the rabbit can develop pneumonia resulting in death. Depending on the strain of the virus, lumps may also appear on the ears, back and mouth.

Symptoms RHD-1 and RHD-2

A rabbit with RHD can die suddenly, without any prior symptoms. In a milder form of the infection, the rabbit is lethargic, short of breath, stops eating and has a fever. In addition, the rabbit may have diarrhea and bloody nasal discharge. The animal often dies from internal bleeding. Contrary to the original RHD virus, the variant RHD-2 can also cause death in hares.

Prevention

There is no treatment for the diseases. Myxomatosis and RHD are prevented with a vaccination. It is also important to maintain good hygiene. Do not pick grass or dandelions where wild rabbits are also present and avoid contact with infected animals or manure from infected animals.

Rabbit vaccination schedule

Various vaccines are available in the Netherlands for rabbits that offer protection against Myxomatosis, RHD-1 and RHD-2. The duration of protection of the vaccines against RHD-2 is still under research and varies between 6 and 12 months per vaccine.
