REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR RABBITS VACCINATIONS UP TO DATE, ALTHOUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS ARE OVER OUR UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER IS STILL A CAUSE FOR CONCERN, THERE ARE STILL NUMEROUS REPORTS OF MYXI OUTBREAKS ACROSS THE UK.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR RABBIT IS ILL TAKE THEM TO THE VET, WHETHER IT IS DURING NOMAL HOURS OR NOT, THERE IS ALWAYS AN EMERGENCY VET. I KEEP HEARING OF CASES WHERE OWNERS ARE 'HOME TREATING' THEIR RABBITS INSTEAD OF SEEKING PROFESSIONAL HELP AND ALL TOO OFTEN THESE CASES ARE ENDING IN TRAGEDY. REMEMBER ANIMALS ARE LIVING CREATURES WHO FEEL PAIN AND SICKNESS AS MUCH AS WE DO AND A SIMPLE TRIP TO THE VETS COULD EASILY TREAT SO MANY THINGS..........IF YOUR CHILD WAS ILL YOU WOULD TAKE THEM TO A DOCTOR, DON'T OUR PETS DESERVE THE SAME ?! THINK...WHEN YOU TAKE ON AN ANIMAL AS A PET, YOU MAKE THEM A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY, AND WITH THAT COMES A DUTY OF CARE.

 Please take a minute to sign my guestbook, tell me what you think of the site, tell me about your experiences, I love to hear from you all!!

This site aims to give practical advice and tips on the ongoing care of rabbits with pasteurellosis. I, myself, had never had any knowledge of this infection until I got my rabbit 'Noodle', she is my inspiration for this site. She is a carrier of the pasteurella infection and during the early weeks of her life was seriously ill, demanding constant care at home and frequent visits to the vet. The symptoms she developed were similar to those of myxomatosis and that was our primary fear. Tests later showed that it was actually pasteurellosis and could be just as deadly !!! After searching sites for any kind of help and advice I realised that although there are a few good sites on the home care and personal experiences of owners of  rabbits with myxi (see links page for the best I have found), there appear to be none offering the same sort of experiences and guidance to owners of pasteurella rabbits, so that's where Noodle and I come in, I don't claim to be an expert but am glad to share my personal experience to hopefully raise awareness and help others in the care of their furry friends.
