Dying Rabbits

  1. A bit of Googling -
    RHD-2, a variant of rabbit haemorrhagic disease, is known for causing few visible symptoms, and sudden death is a common sign. While some rabbits may show signs like fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, or bleeding, many succumb to the virus without displaying any noticeable illness. RHD-2 is particularly challenging to diagnose because of its subtle or absent initial symptoms.

    The DEFRA reporting is important. Living near the coast I have used it several times in relation to Avian Flu and dead/dying Cetaceans.
     
  2. Beat me to it. I was also going to suggest Hemorrhagic fever...or cats.
     
  3. Yes. Ive even had the odd one circling my Norma.
    The lady down the road has all sorts of animals as pets (rabbits fish etc) and you see them circling her garden all the time too.
