      Loreli hope you see this.
      A few weeks ago my bunny was ripping out its hair from its chest and it started to eat it. We tried to take it out and open its mouth, but we Couldn't. A few minutes later she had a fast heart beat, was laying down frequently and a few times she layed down with her back down (like a human). I turned around for a second and when I looked back there was a huge chunk of hair infront of her. After that she acted normal. Is this normal for rabbits? How can I prevent this?

    We've had the vaccine in the UK for a while and its completely fine. The rescue I work for gets all newcomers vaccinated with no side effects.
    Other important information is that if your rabbit has caught it and died it can live on surfaces for up to 3 months and in the ground for up to 2 years. (Info i received from my vets and rescue)
    Basically wait up to 3-6 months before getting a new bunny.
    Edit: The 2 years is in completely ideal conditions it may be much shorter than that, but it is still best to cremate your bun rather than burying.

    If only you made this video sooner 😞
    Back in early 2019, I got my first two rabbits bongo and pongo. I absolutely ADORED them. I loved them to pieces. One morning, I woke up and turned over. I saw my rabbit on the floor laying down. I started stoking him but he felt cold and stiff. I kept tapping him thinking he had just fallen asleep. But then I saw foam around his mouth. (Keep in mind I was 12). My whole world turned upside down. You have no idea how horrible it feels laying next to your dead bunny. My other bunny bongo was running around in the tunnels. i wrapped up pongos body in a towel and brought him to the vets along with bongo. We asked the vets how he died and he said said rh2. I was very confused as they have never been outside (they were house bunnies) we then got bongo the vaccine and the vet said that it takes 5 days so there is a 50/50 chance he will die. We threw his toys, litter box everything really away and disinfected EVERYTHING. It had been 4 days and on the 5th day I had a sleepover at my school (it was my last day before I went to high school) but when I got back the next morning bongo had passed away during the night. Right on the 5th day. The strange thing about it is that there were no symptoms at all. They didn’t look lethargic or stop eating and because this is so new, we didn’t know that there was a vaccine or that it even existed. I was DEVASTATED. I went into depression to the point where I started self harming. I cried a lot. I loved those bunnies. Even my profile picture is of them (go look). About a year later, we found these two french lops. Who were vaccinated against it all. Whom, I Have had for over a year now. I got them from an animal shelter where they both had been abandoned. Someone found them on the street and they were taken in ( they are brothers) now after a year they are doing much better and free roamed around the house. I really miss bongo and pongo and I can’t stress enough about getting this vaccine. ( if your country has it). Although it is not yet approved in America, it has been in the UK where I live. So. Anybody living in the uk or anywhere else where you have the vaccine, I strongly suggest you get the vaccine so that you don’t have to go through the devastation of loosing bunnies. Thank you for reading I hope you all keep safe! #blacklivesmatter

      @@nathitaxo Yes, indoor rabbits are also at risk as the virus can be tracked in on your shoes and even the feet of other household pets like dogs coming home from walks, or cats who are allowed to roam outdoors, too. It's a horrible virus and kills very quickly, I've sadly seen a lot of rabbits who have had this and if it's caught early, even then the chances aren't very high for survival. The best form of 'cure' is prevention, so if your vet offers a vaccine, make sure your rabbits get it!

    My bunny had 4 of those symptoms and the vet didn't know why. They thought it was GI Stasis. I spent all the money I had on bills trying to save her but she passed the rainbow Bridge March 18. She became a picky princess not wanting hay or pellets only veggies after getting spayed. We kept her full on critical care but it wasn't enough to stop GI Stasis. The only thing she loved more than eating veggies without taking a breath was kissing my arms and forehead for the hours I spent with her everyday. I miss her everyday. I rescued another bunny since then. She loves being held and running crazy around the room. I was planning on taking her for stroller rides through the store I work at but I'm not sure now.

    Here in Europe, especially France since I’m French, we have this vaccine for years now. It’s almost obligatory to do this one. Of course, there are side effects but it’s like every other vaccine. I had no issues so far with my 2 years old rabbit. Side effects are very rare, and if they occur, they are not that harmful.
    I am really sorry that you don’t have this vaccine yet, I don’t understand why since it’s quite popular here. Every vet will tell you that it’s important to do it.

      laure auvray yeah you should and against myxomatose too, it’s really important to vaccine your bunny for him to be able to Go out safely, the vet can do the two vaccines at the same Time if the bunny is wealthy and young and if after your bunny is a little tired it’s normal, check if he doesn’t have fever, if he does for a Long Time contact the vet.

    The vaccines have been savely used in Europe for several years now. There are even different brands. Mine never had any side effects except of being a bit tired for a day once or twice. Its important tho to only vaccinate if the bunny has an healthy immune system, which is why it's necessary to get their poop checked beforehand (there can always be undetected parasites) and a general health examination. Considering how deadly and widely spreaded this disease is, to vaccinate is the only right thing to do.
    Also something that is really important: if your rabbit died of rhd1/2 you MUST burn the body. If you bury your rabbit, the soil will be contaminated. All insects living there will carry the virus and since they are food for birds etc. it will only keep spreading and killing more and more bunnies/hares.

But it takes time ~1-2months before the vaccine can arrive from Europe. It's not normally available, and it's only for a special order for the time of outbreak, in limited quantities. The vaccine needs to be given every year, but the vets would have to request another special order and get approval with wild bunnies being affected the next year even if they were approved this year. So it's not actually available. So very important for us to sign the petition.

    Excellent resource. I currently live in New Mexico and our House Rabbit Society worked hands on with our vets and state vet to get the vaccination. The clinic that I work at is one of 2 that are offering it. For my kiddos the vaccination was easy they didn't even feel it. They were monitored for 15 minutes to make sure there was no vaccine reaction.
    I would highly recommend anyone who lives in a possible hot zone or near one to reach out to your rabbit rescues and vets letting them know you want the vaccine this will help bring it here.
    We've had rabbits from neighboring states come get the vaccination with no reactions thus far. I feel fortunate to be able to get my kiddos vaccinated from this nasty disease.
    I would recommend if any rabbit is going in to the Vet to ask the vet if they've either had any cases, have handled wildlife (we have a vet that volunteers so this isn't uncommon), or handled a sick rabbit that was showing symptoms that day. They may opt not to see your pet as the virus lives for months on organic material and although they wash hands and may have a change of scrubs available, they may want to protect a healthy rabbit from getting sick thus postponing or recommending another vet.

    Greetings from Finland. I have vaccinated my rabbits and I have not have been having any issues about it and I am glad that we have the vacation days here for it. Soon It is annual vaccine time for my 9yo old bunny. 😊
    Here it is more expensive to go and have the vaccine just for your bunny - so vet clinics are organising vaccination days where they take more bunnies in to get the vaccination at once so they can open the bigger bottle of vaccine and the cost per vaccination is cheaper that way.
    Here it is very recommended to get your rabbit vaccinated for the RHD-virus has spread in the whole country. And to my and many bunny-parents it is a small price to pay to keep your rabbit more safe.
    Love your channel and how you are spreading the knowledge about pet rabbits and their proper care❣ Thank you!

    Our late rabbit, Dora, died of rhdv2 aged 1. It was so sudden, she appeared full of life the day before. The next day, she was apathic and went limp, so we took her to the emergency vet straight away. Her passing was very traumatic (in the car the bleeding started). The vet let us into the back room to say goodbye. I'll always remember her mouth bleeding and my fiancé's pain: it was his birthday, he was severely depressed and Dora was like a daughter to him. So he started sobbing so bad, and I could do nothing to help. Anyway the diagnosis was confirmed and we felt awful for not having vaccinated her. So when we got Errol, who's now 10 months old, we got him vaccinated straight away. No problem at all, it all went well.

    This is what happened to my sisters bunny. I wish we had watched this video before she died. She began not eating and acting weird but she sometimes did this so we thought it was normal. Then suddenly she had a really bad seizure and died. It was so quick and honestly shocking. I wish we had done something, Thumper was so special to me and my sisters and my mum. She was so loved and looked after. I still can’t believe she’s gone. Please watch your bunnies and if they have any symptoms immediately take them to the vets because this illness is serious!! It’s fatal and this is what happened to our bunny. She literally just dropped dead.
    🥺
    She was similar to Lennon, she was so sweet and honestly was my sisters best friend. We’re all still mourning her.
    Just keep your bunnies safe everyone 💓💓
    They are so special and this disease is deadly
