I think that you have a typo.The article that Chris wrote is talking about California and Oregon.
Yes,we have it here and I guess there is always some price to pay if you live in paradise

Oops

Fixed it :up:

I thought it was pretty rare :shrug:

I'm curious if anyone vaccinates their rabbits for it ?

 

[Sagebrush]

As far as I personally know, there is no vaccine for it. If there is, I would be willing to vaccinate my herd breeders for it.

There is one according to an article on HRS. "At the present time, there is only one type of vaccine available against myxomatosis. It is called “Nobivac myxo” from Intervet."

"Editor’s Note: Myxomatosis is not as common in the US as it is in the UK, and so the myxomatosis vaccine is not readily available in the US. Therefore, in regions of the United States where myxomatosis does occur sporadically, such as the coastal areas of California and Oregon, the best way to prevent the disease is flea and mosquito control."

I am already doing that now, so... guess I search for the vaccine in hopes of finding it but otherwise I will just keep the flea and mosquito control up.
