Just looking for some advise & maybe reassurance.
We got our Rabbit last week, a English spot, he was just beautiful.
Seemed fine but as we only had him a week maybe there are things I missed, but got up this morning & he was dead in his hutch. Spoke to breeder & she suggested VHD (he hadn’t been vaccinated yet was booked in on Tuesday). I spoke to my vet, he said it could be a possibility but without a autopsy there’s no way of knowing for sure.
He hadn’t shown any obvious symptoms.
I just feel so awful & guilty fur not vaccinating him sooner.
I would like to get another but understandably cautious. How long should I wait & what’s the best way to ensure that if it was a virus that everything is clean & safe?
So sad, I know it was only a week but he already felt like part of our family.
