🐰💉 Rabbit Owners, Please Read: RHDV is a Serious Threat
Whether you have a sweet house bunny or a hardworking homestead rabbit, Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) is something every rabbit owner in Pahrump needs to be aware of.

🚨 What is RHDV?
RHDV (Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus) is a highly contagious and often fatal virus that affects both domestic and wild rabbits. It causes internal bleeding, organ failure, and in many cases, sudden death with little warning.

🦠 How is it contracted?
– Direct contact with infected rabbits (wild or domestic)
– Contaminated food, water, bedding, clothing, shoes, or hands
– Virus can survive for weeks in the environment
– Flies, insects, and other animals can carry the virus on their fur or feet

⚠️ Why it matters:
RHDV can wipe out entire colonies and is spreading across parts of the U.S., including the Southwest. It affects ALL rabbits, regardless of breed or purpose — pets, show animals, or meat rabbits.

💉 We carry the RHDV vaccine right here at JAM Veterinary Services!
This vaccine is the best protection available for your rabbits, and we recommend it for:
