June 1st, June 22nd, and July 12th
Dates: Sunday, June 1 · Sunday, June 22 · Saturday, July 12
Location: House Rabbit Network Clinic & Shelter, Westford, MA
House Rabbit Network is hosting three upcoming RHDV-2 vaccine clinics at our shelter in Westford, MA. These clinics are a critical opportunity to protect your rabbit from Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV-2), a highly contagious and often fatal virus. The vaccine will be administered by Exotic Pet Mobile Vet.
🚨🚨🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨🚨🚨
If your rabbit has never received the RHDV-2 vaccine OR if it’s been over 18 months since their last dose, they must complete an initial two-dose series, given three weeks apart. For example, if your rabbit receives their first dose on June 1, they must return on June 22 for their second dose. If you begin the series on June 22, your rabbit’s second dose will be due on July 12. It is not possible to complete the series with just one visit—attendance at two specific clinics is required to ensure full protection.
For rabbits who have already completed the initial two-dose series within the last 18 months, only one booster dose is needed this year. You can attend any of the three clinic dates to receive the annual booster.
Each vaccine dose costs $60, paid directly to Exotic Pet Mobile Vet on the day of the clinic. This price reflects a recent increase from the vaccine distributor, Medgene. If preferred, meloxicam, a rabbit-safe oral pain reliever & anti-inflammatory, is also available for an additional charge.
RHDV-2 can spread through direct contact with infected rabbits or via contaminated surfaces, hay, food, clothing, or even shoes. Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect your rabbit and help prevent the spread of this serious disease within the rabbit community.
