Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus serotype 2 (RHDV2)

Taking animals to the fair (or other gatherings) is always a risk for contacting disease.  The best protection for rabbits is for the owners to practice good biosecurity or request a veterinarian to import a RHDV2 vaccine and vaccinate rabbits at risk.  Please see additional information regarding RHDV2:  RHDV-2     General Biosecurity Recommendations for Rabbits
