Rabbit hemorrhagic disease in DELTA !!!
Pet rabbits owners are being urged to monitor their pets after several cases of Rabbit hemorrhagic disease have shown up in Delta, with no vaccine available in Canada. The disease is exclusive to rabbits as both humans and other animals are not susceptible to this disease. Rabbit hemorrhagic disease causes hemorrhages by distressing the blood vessels affecting the liver and other vital tissues. Rabbits show signs of illness quickly, usually within days with signs of lethargy, coordination issues, activities changes or inhalation issues although most affected rabbits die suddenly with bleeding from the nose. If a rabbit shows any signs of this disease they should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Also noted, birds of prey that feed on infected rabbits can spread the virus through their feces.
