Rabbits must have an initial RHD (Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease) vaccine and a booster at/or around 21 days after the initial vaccine.
Rabbits will not be considered FULLY vaccinated against RHD until 72-hours after the second dose has been given.
Please email your rabbit’s RHD vaccination record to AFU@ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org ahead of your appointment, please. If you are unable to do so, please bring your proof of vaccinations with you to the appt.
Vaccines are valid for 1 year and must be boosted annually unless otherwise indicated by a veterinarian
