Pet Rabbit Vaccination next week

Calling pet rabbit owners... Thursday next week (the 17th of May) there is a rabbit vaccination day in Paraparaumu. The new variant of the rabbit killing virus RCD (www.stuff.co.nz...), is currently being spread across the country.

If you want to protect your kids' rabbits you need to get them vaccinated as soon as possible. The vaccine comes in vials with enough for 10 rabbits and must be used or discarded then and there. There are 7 bunnies booked in for Thursday at Wellpet Kapiti (including my kids' bunny) meaning there is enough for 3 more rabbits to be protected.

If you miss out on this vaccination day then you'll either have to wait for another or pay for a whole vial yourself which from what I understand is about $150... ouch.
