The Dogmother Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I haven't seen it before, but it sounds like you need to change your vet if they don't know (they really should). Find a vet who regularly treats rabbits. Without seeing the sores/growths, they could be anything from parasites to a type of herpes. If they look to be spreading quickly, then get him to see a bunny-savvy vet soonest. God luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 my vet took sum samples of the lumps found on fluff and told us that the test results show she had a wierd form of myxomatosis but because she had been vaccinated against it she should make a full recovery which she seems to be doing nicely she hasnt had any mediction to hell she has just got to get over it on her own! the really good thing is her sister that is in the same eglu hasnt got it or showing any signs of getting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Amy Myxomatosis is spread by the European Rabbit Flea which is rampant in the rabbit breeding season so from March till probably October you should consider some form of flea treatment for your bunnies Living outside rabbits come into contact with them even in hutches as the fleas are such efficient breeders matching their breeding season with the rabbits so babies are covered in fleas (in the wild) as soon as they are born Speak to your vet it will probably be something not normally used on rabbits one of the cat or dog spot on medications may be the thing to try to make sure even though vaccinated your bunnies are not bothered like this again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
