Rabbits are fun, affectionate pets that are becoming increasingly popular. It is important to take good care of them, and that also includes regular vaccinations. At Dierenarts Boschhoven in Leende and Heeze, we understand how important it is to vaccinate your rabbit against various diseases, and we would be happy to help you understand the process and prepare for it.
Why should you vaccinate your rabbit?
It is important to vaccinate your rabbit because it protects them against several diseases that can be fatal. The two main diseases rabbits should be vaccinated against are:
- Myxomatosis
- VHD
Myxomatosis is spread by mosquitoes and fleas, while VHD spreads through contact with infected animals, urine, or faeces. Both diseases can be fatal for rabbits, and there is currently no cure.
When should you vaccinate your rabbit?
Rabbits should be vaccinated annually to protect them against myxomatosis and VHD. The vaccination process can begin when the rabbit is around six weeks old, and it is important to receive regular booster vaccinations to maintain protection.
