I’m glad your bunnies are vaccinated. ❤️🐇🥰 I totally understand the anxiety of this virus. I’ve had a lot of anxiety with it as well the past couple of years in keeping my bunnies safe.
I just got a lot of new turn toys to give to my bunny from your shop. They just came in the mail and the sungabun is amazing. is Thank you so much for teaching me and a lot of other people all about rabbits! I can’t wait to adopt a bunny and give it a great life just like you with so many different bunnies.🥰🐇
I’m so glad you were able to get your bunnies vaccinated, in the UK (when I had my bunny) he had his boosters every year since we rescued him in about 2013 I think which was very good.
Great video! I am glad you finally were able to get your bunnies vaccinated. Also I love your hair! I live in Sweden so we are used to having to vaccinate our rabbits every year. We have another one (a triple vaccine) so we only give one shot every year. Ofc I am sorry to hear you have outbreaks in the US as well, but glad to hear you can now vaccinate :)
Unfortunately it’s very difficult in New Jersey there is like 4 locations. I’m waiting to hear back about availability on appointment. Hopefully will hear back this week. Update : have appointment set for March
Thank you for sharing! My bonded rescue buns got vaccinated a year ago (we live in a high risk area of Oregon), so they will need their annual checkup and second vaccination next month in March. Thank you for talking about this. And please do share about your anxiety. So many of us can relate. Thank you for all that you do. Also…your hair looks super cute! And…question, please… how long were your rabbits mad about going to the vet? I’m dreading it…taking them anywhere in carriers makes me SUPER stressed. They hate it! But it has to get done…
It doesn't matter how much does it costs. All that matters to us is that are the bunnies healthy and happy or not because I don't know about others but for me all the bunnies living in this entire world are "PRICELESS", yes you heard it right, "EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM" which includes the domesticated ones and the wild ones as well.
I have to rabbits and am using your method to bond them on Friday and I had a few questions What is a session?(do you separate them or keep them together the whole night) How big of a carrier?( what is the dimensions of the one you use) Please respond I really need to know the answer to this question
There’s an outbreak in my state but the vets in my area don’t carry it because Illinois stinks. Might have to go to Kentucky to get him vaccinated as its just across the river but it’s still about an hour drive.
Great informational video! I got my rabbits vaccinated as soon as possible by a rescue, the veterinarian at the rescue gave them one vaccine and never told me to come back for a booster. I wonder why they didn't tell me to go back for a booster?
This is a great video! I have a foster bunny right now on quarantine for this disease and I hope that the new owners, who ever gets her will vaccinate her for it.
The price for my rabbits was $30 for each shot and $80 for one exam then $15 for each rabbits exam after for all three of my rabbits it was $175 but to of my rabbits didn’t get the exam because they had got a exam just a few weeks before.
OMG. I had no idea about this. Thank you for this video, the internet did say it in in my country but not in my province. Thanks. Love your videos. Have a nice day
Got my 4 rescues vaccinated as soon as it was available in Georgia. Not the same kind as you. They got 1 dose and then an annual booster at their exam. Also required the rabbits be chipped (or tattooed but my vet doesn't do that).
I only found 1 veterinarian in my area that currently have the vaccine. I have been trying for months now to get the vaccine. They are going to make me come 3 times because they want the wellness checkup to be on a different appointment. I had an appointment for a check up a few weeks ago but I had to cancel because we had a bad snow storm here and my county went red. That vet doesn't book appointment more than a month in advance so I basically have been contacting them every month to try to get an appointment. I had found a rabbit shelter that had a vet that could vaccinate my rabbits a few months back. But the vet had to cancel because her daughter cought covid. Never heard back from the shelter after that. Besides the commute would be over 3 hours total. So right now I'm just waiting until new month start so I can schedule.
My little bun has his pasteurella booster in March but he is set for his RHDV2 vaccine around April. I am super careful with my shoes and clothes. I pretty much treat it as covid for bunnies. So, I go out come home and change shoes and clothing.
Do you have Myxomatosis in US? In Southern Finland bunnies need to get vaccinated once a year with a double vaccine that is both for RHDV-2 and Myxomatosis. It's only one shot, no booster
When did the purity ring come off?! I'm so unobservant. I love the new haircut! But it does need to be blue,lol Yes to the anxiety video. I have social anxiety pretty badly
So glad my country has had it available for awhile, my old bunny harlow passed from rhdv2 so as soon as i found out about willow i got her breeder to vaccinate her for us :)
I'm from Canada, I got my rabbits booked for the vaccine (they're getting theirs' tomorrow). When I first found out about the virus, I brought it to my younger sister's attention (she's a vet tech), so she did some research about it and found out where we live, there's one place that does it since they had the license to do so (checked the reviews for that place as well and it's a 4.8 out of 5 stars, so that's promising) but we had to be put onto the waiting list until we had confirmation that there was vaccines for my rabbits. And it's not cheap either. I paid over $400 for my two rabbits. The vaccine is called FILAVAC VHD K C + V (believe that's one of the recommended vaccines out there for rabbits). So hopefully both of my rabbits are all right after this vaccine. UPDATE: Since the comment was orginally posted, my rabbits are now vaccinated and they're doing great. No reactions to the vaccine. Did ask a couple of questions to the vet who vaccinated both my rabbits. In Canada, the vaccine is imported from France and there's a lot of paperwork involved since the vaccine is not licensed in Canada which is why it's really expensive (they're hoping next year it'll be easier to get access to the vaccine). They contact all vet clinics that are registered to give the vaccine if there was any issues, reactions don't often happened, the vet themselves had at least one case out of the many that they've done were the rabbit had a side affect from the vaccine but it also had a underline health condition caused by another illness. Rabbit recovered within a couple of hours. If you want to get the vaccine, talk to your vet and I'm sure they'll look into it for you. Really depends on your location. Be aware that you could be on the waiting list for a while so the sooner you get on there, the better. The vet I've went to also checked over my rabbits to make sure they're all right before they've gotten the vaccine.
How long was this vaccine tested for that it was determined that receiving it yearly was the absolute recommendation? Our other pets are over-vaccinated. When my dog’s rabies shot was due, I requested a titer test instead. His blood work showed that he still had antibodies for rabies 3 years later. Also, what are the long term side effects? Especially, If they get it year after year. What kinds of reactions can they get a few years down the line?
I'm getting two female Holland lop bunnies they're currently 4 months old I'm getting them at the soonest In December I was curious about what vaccines I can get for them and how often rabbits need vaccinated and how old do they have to be also curious of what age I can get them spayed it's been a long time since I had a rabbit I plan on eventually bonding these two females after they get spayed starting at least 8 weeks post spay but I'm prepared to have two separate pens for them and bunny proofing my room I'm in the State of Indiana it's not in my area yet but it is available according to the Indiana House Rabbit society they have some states near by with the virus
My rabbit got the vaccine last summer, however I don’t recall being informed that it was necessary to get a booster as well. In any case my bun only got the first one. I’ll have to give the vet a call!
Yay! Short hair twins! In terms of the anxiety over this, I too was having the same fear. I've even made a VERY strict protocol for coming into my house from outdoors because I was terrified to bring the virus in by accident by just walking around. My boy is now fully vaccinated and I too took a sigh of relief. In terms of how LITTLE of side affects there are, my boy got his first dose the same day he got neutered.... So hopefully that puts it into perspective. It is extremely unlikely that they'll even get those few minor side affects. Also, COST... if a vet is charging more than 50$ per shot, I feel they are totally hustling you. The actual cost of the vaccine is NOT that much for vets to acquire (once it is approved by your state veterinarian) so if they are charging way more than 50$ per shot, I'd say look for another vet just for the shot... I spent 42$ in total for BOTH shots. He had his physical exam and everything, too, but for the shots alone, it was 21$ each dose. There was an "exotic vet" hospital in Ohio that was charging $150 for these shots.... and I'm sorry... that is ludicrous. One extra thing to note about this virus, as it is not yet COMPLETELY understood how transmissible it is, they DO know that this virus is VERY resistant and can survive under extreme environments and timeframes. They know that it usually is a 3 month+ wait for it to die naturally. It's honestly been so terrifying to know about these things and nothing was being done about it till more recently... Thank you Medgene Labs!! You rock!!
I saw a vet on YT saying the virus can survive for 6 months on clothing, such as wool gloves...so you could put your winter coat away, bring it back out 6 months later, and--
Yesss! So glad I’m not the only one!!!! I’m glad you found a good price for the vaccine! My vet does charge more than other vets in my area due to how much research and knowledge they have. So it’s kinda “you get what you pay for” 🤷🏼♀️ and I had to do a senior checkup for Lulu anyways. I love my vet though 🥰
@@lazyhomebody1356 yea Livestock or Country Vets have been caring for Rabbits forever. Why they quit training City Vets at Vet Schools & now call them Exotic, is beyond me. 🤔
I hope you read my comment because I really do need help with this. I’m not allowed to free roam my rabbit and I’m not sure what to do. I hope I can convince my parents to, but to be honest I don’t think they’ll allow it. I may not even be able to free roam them in my room. How should I bond with my rabbit and keep them happy?
There is only 4 vets who do it in New Jersey I’m waiting to hear back from all of them about their appointment availability. Still haven’t heard back yet. Our vet doesn’t offer it. Hopefully soon more vets will offer it in my state and others in the east coast.
That’s great rabbits in America can get the vaccine here in the uk although it’s been a thing for an extremely long time my vets say they don’t get a lot of rabbits being brought in for vaccines which is sad
I live on the very opposite side if the US where there's the most cases, so I think we're fine. They probably don't have the vaccine here anyway. It's nice that I don't have to worry about it.
Yes, it can be carried on shoes, Car Tires, Flies, Mosquitoes. If you shop for your Rabbit food at a pet shop, or feed store so do other people who have Rabbits, so it will get on your shoes.
Great video my buns just went into get spayed today I must ask my vet if they have the vaccine also is there any point or should I get my buns other rabbit vaccines that vets offer they are shed rabbits but they have lots of room as my parent won’t let them live in our house but I let them run around indoor every now and then but they have lots of space and a playroom they are very happy I never bring them out side but I don’t know if I should get them other vaccine
I am living in Europe Germany and the first vaccine of RHDV2 was after it was discovered to be mutated from the original RHD, I luckly had good connections and was able to get a doctor that had the best working vaccine on the market, after that my usual vet gave them the booster vaccine. I think a year after, there is already a max booster for a whole year, so it reduces the stress for my rabbits to hop to the vet. I still meet rabbit owners who think a vaccine isn't nessecary because "they never got it", I immideantly let them know to think about it again, being safe than sorry, RHD and Myxomatose are dangerous, even for wild rabbits and the chance that a rabbit survives RHD is VERY low.
Maybe this is how my rabbit died she sadly passed away two nights ago but she wasn’t vaccinated because I never heard of this disease but I’m not sure because the night before she died she was completely healthy and doing zoomies around my room but the next day she lost her ability to move she had no appetite for any kind of food and she was very shaky and her body temperature was going down and I tried everything that I could think of but then she backed up into a corner and suddenly stopped breathing and then she passed away
@@megangaspar6985 i’ve done a lot of research on G.I. stasis but she didn’t have a lot of the signs of G.I. stasis so I’m pretty sure it’s something else that she died of
I got quoted at 134 at one vet being the most expensive here in New Jersey of the 4 locations the cheapest being 45 dollars. Still waiting to hear back about when they can make an appointment
@@TheVioletBunny Vets! One charged me alot to buy allergy meds for my dog...turns out it was a human allergy pill, which I now get the generic version one...and it costs about 1/10 as much!
@@lazyhomebody1356 yeah unfortunately there is only 4 vets who supply this vaccine in my state I’m still waiting from calls back when doctors are avail for appointment
i don't know where in va you are, but i'm driving my bun out to roanoke for a mass vaccination clinic a vet is holding there april 2; $86 for an exam + both shots.
Generally as a rule, your vet would let you know if it's nessary. Being my bunny is not exposed to other rabbits and never will be, it's not something I can see being something mine needs. In the future it may be something with a new bunny. I asked my vet and they said it's not something here in Northern Mi. The 4 H groups would be knowledgeable on this as would rabbit shows and breeders. I was told it's not in this area.
It can be spread through hay shipments and many other ways. Just because they aren’t directly exposed to other bunnies doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways for them to be exposed to the virus. I’d rather be safe than sorry with my rabbits.
@@TheVioletBunny exactly! it can also be spread through if you go outside with your shoes and walk inside with them and your bunny can get it from there!
Do you want your rabbit to be the first one? It will get into your area eventually. The danger is that people track it into the house. It's a super virus and lives up to a year!!
