Default O.T. myxi.


Myxi does not appear to be listed and I'm certain it isn't notifiable.
It's been endemic in Britain for decades.

I have not seen it since I was a child in the 60's.
If it is not notifiable now, it should be.
It's a terrible thing.


We saw quite a few myxi rabbits round here up to a few years ago. I
don't know if the disease is still in these parts but I haven't seen a
rabbit with it for a couple of years.

My daughter took one of the little suffering rabbits and our vet confirmed
that is was indeed Myxi. It is possible that some will survive but there is
nothing that we can do for them :-(
