NEW VACCINE ALLOWS PUPS OUT SOONER!
We have recently changed over to a new vaccine, which allows pups to go out into the world sooner.
Please refer to our vaccination page for more information.
Our new sign.
The gale force winds in May that caused so much damage to Melbourne also claimed our old sign.
As a result, we now have a stronger new sign! Look out for it as you drive past.
Myxomatosis Alert!!
We have recently seen a couple of cases of the dreaded rabbit myxomatosis virus. The virus, transmitted by mosquitoes, causes swelling of the eyelids and rear end, and causes high fatality in over 90% of rabbits. There is no treatment for this disease, and the vaccine is illegal in Australia. The general advice with any rabbit affected by "myxo" is to euthanase rather than endure two weeks of discomfort before passing away. So once again PREVENTION is the key:- avoid exposure to mosquitoes by fly-proofing hutches and keeping your pet inside during mozzie feeding times. Mosquitoes also transmit the deadly haemorrhagic virus which causes fatal internal bleeding. Avoidance is key as with myxo, but a vaccine is available against this disease as an annual booster.
