CALL US TO RESERVE A SPACE for April 4 -RHDV- 2 Rabbit Vaccine Protects rabbits against the fatal Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus. The virus travels through the blood stream of an infected rabbit and rapidly damages the cells of the liver. The liver makes proteins used in forming blood clots, and the classic form of RHDV causes uncontrollable bleeding in rabbits.

CLINIC 2: Saturday April 4, 2026 beginning 8:00 am: Yearly Booster, Second Vaccine
Package 1: $100 includes Yearly Booster and Brief Exam, full payment is due at the time of scheduling the appointment
Package 2: $200.00 includes both vaccines and microchipping, a full payment is due at the time of scheduling the appointment
This virus is highly contagious and spreads rapidly among both wild and domestic rabbit populations, and can survive outside a host for several months and be carried on surfaces such as shoes, tires, insects, bedding, food, and more. With an over 90% mortality rate, symptoms can appear very suddenly and there are no medications or treatments to prevent them.
RHDV infects wild and domestic species of rabbits and is highly contagious. It does not infect people or other animals.
If your pet was vaccinated in 2025 with the initial vaccine and booster, only one vaccine is needed this year.
