Severe myxomatosis
-
This rabbit had been adopted by her new owners a few weeks previously. During the pre-anaesthetic check prior to neutering, it became evident that there were wild rabbits with myxomatosis near her new home. She was vaccinated against myxomatosis and RHD immediately and spayed the next day. Unfortunately she developed signs of severe myxomatosis despite vaccination. It is possible that she didn't respond to the vaccination because the was either incubating the disease or the stress of neutering interfered with her immune response.

Myxomatosis swollen eyelids
-
Thickened eyelids are the first sign of myxomatosis although there may be a nodular skin lesion at the site of initial inoculation somewhere else on the body. The eyelids continue to become thickened, inflamed and infected over the next few days before nodular lesions develop especially on the eyelids, nasal planum, face, base of the pinnae and genitalia.

Recovering from myxomatosis
-
Recovery from myxomatosis, especially in unvaccinated rabbits, is not impossible. This rabbit survived an outbreak that killed her companion and four youngsters. The image is taken just after the crusting lesions had fallen away and the skin was healing.
