  • Vaccinating your Rabbit

We recommend that rabbits in Essex are vaccinated against myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD).

Previously this would have been administered through two separate injections, however, our new rabbit vaccine at Cherrydown Vet means that your pet can be protected against myxomatosis and both strains of VHD with just a single injection.

Rabbit Vaccination FAQs

Do house rabbits need to be vaccinated?

Vaccinations are essential for providing your rabbit with adequate protection from life-threatening and debilitating diseases such as viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD 1 and 2) and myxomatosis.

How often do rabbits need to be vaccinated?

We recommend that rabbits are vaccinated every 12 months to protect them against potentially fatal diseases.

Do rabbits need to go to the vet?

To ensure your rabbit is kept happy and healthy, we recommend annual check-ups with ourselves at Cherrydown Vets, as well as consults if you’re worried about your rabbit’s health. Rabbits are vulnerable to infectious diseases and illnesses one example is dental disease, which can cause a wide range of problems for your pet. We would advise you on vaccinations as well as external and internal parasite prevention.
