Friday, May 2nd - Rabbit Vaccine Day 

RHD is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease that affects rabbits and hares, causing severe bleeding disorders and high mortality rates.

The RHD vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect your beloved pet rabbits from this devastating disease. The vaccine is administered in two doses, with the first dose given between 10-12 weeks of age, followed by a booster shot 3-4 weeks later, if pet has not had vaccine before.

Here are some key facts about the RHD vaccine:

* The vaccine is highly effective in preventing RHD, with a success rate of over 90%.

* The vaccine is available for rabbits of all ages, but it's recommended to start vaccinating at an early age for maximum protection.

* The vaccine is a modified live virus vaccine, which means it contains a weakened form of the virus that cannot cause illness in rabbits.

* The vaccine is safe for pregnant does (female rabbits) and can be administered during pregnancy.

* The vaccine does not provide lifelong immunity, so boosters are recommended every 6 months to maintain protection.

By getting your rabbit vaccinated against RHD, you can significantly reduce the risk of your pet contracting this deadly disease. We strongly recommend vaccinating your rabbit if you haven't already done so.
