News10% 0ff myxomatosis vaccines for the next 6 months! 03 May 2008 To encourage all rabbit owners to protect against this horrible disease we will give 10% off the myxomatosis vaccine for 6 months - starting on May 1st This means that those of you who have already vaccinated will get the same reduction off the 6 month booster. 1st vaccinations will get the reduction now - sorry we can't give 10% off both! Myxomatosis in Pontesbury! 05 March 2008 A wild rabbit with myxomatosis infection was found in a garden in Pontesbury last week. This disease in almost always fatal in unvaccinated rabbits and is spread by midges and fleas. The Telford area saw a dreadful outbreak last year and, predictably, we are likely to see it this year, especially as the weather warms up. Vaccinated rabbits are well protected, although some may develop a mild form of the disease if exposed to it, Rabbits should be vaccinated every 6 months when the risk is high. This is a dreadful disease killing rabbits with a ghastly set of symptoms : swollen ears, eyes and genitals, eventually leading to a slow and painful death. There is no treatment. We are encouraging everyone to vaccinate their rabbits BEFORE midges become active. Indoor rabbits should also be vaccinated
