🐰 Attention Rabbit Owners: Important RHD2 Update 🐰
A new variant of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease type 2 (RHD2) has recently been identified in Europe. This strain is highly contagious, often fatal, and can affect rabbits of all ages—sometimes with no warning signs before sudden death. 💔
🛡️ We strongly recommend annual vaccination with the combined Myxomatosis/RHD1/RHD2 vaccine, which offers protection against three serious viral diseases.
However, with this new RHD2 strain, it’s unclear whether current vaccines provide full protection. Research is ongoing.
💉 A new vaccine, licensed specifically for highly virulent RHD2 strains, is now available — and we’re offering it at our special Rabbit Vaccination Day.
📅 Rabbit Vaccination Day
📍 Filey Veterinary Practice
🗓 Saturday 21st June
📞 Booking is essential – Call 01723 513119 to secure your rabbit’s appointment. Limited spaces available!
👉 Even if your rabbit has already received their annual vaccine, they may still benefit from this new RHD2 vaccine for added protection. Not sure what they need? Give us a call — we’re here to help!
Let’s work together to keep our rabbits safe.
