Just back from doing my walk about, 6 clean bunnies in the bag :)

 

On the edge of a small copse bagged No 7, went to pick it up and it had the start of bloody myxy :(

 

Its strange as the copse is right in the middle of the land and I shot the clean ones round the edges, you would think as there has been no sign, the disease would turn up on the edges first then spread.

 

I'm in Yorkshire whats it like round the country, be interesting if you've spotted it to mention what county your in ......

 

Any thoughts??

The myxy one I had yesterday was full of rabbit fleas around the ears and head.

 

I did not see any on the clean ones.

 

The flea carries the virus but why does it all of sudden appear, you would think that fleas would be present all the time???

 

Any boffins out there to explain what relation the flea is to myxy rabbits, :(

Im not far away from you, and were we hunt for rabbits around Hornsea, Skipsea,area, we still see loads of myxy amongst rabbits here.

I hate seeing it, rabbits just sat blind on the roadside waiting to die :cry:

There's fields were, one year you might see quite a bit of myxy amongst the rabbits and the next year-not so much. but ive also seen were it looks like they have recovered from it, but they say that most rabbits cant survive it, so im not sure weather the scars are from something else?

The scars Ive seen round the eyes, are like bauld patches.

 

Under the skin was full of little bumps all over, if you touch a full myxy one, which I dont make a habit of, it has similar but larger bumps under the skin.

 

Has anyone seen rabbits that have recovered from myxy, or is it a total once they get it they die? :cry:

 

There is also another virus going about in rabbits, think its VHD or summit like that, poor bloody bunnies. :(
